Unsigned Talent


You may recognize the face from the Canadian teen drama Degrassi: The Next Generation, but you probably aren't familiar with the name. Let me introduce you to an artist by the name of Drake. He hails from Toronto, Canada but don't let that fool you, he's a force to be reckoned with. His transition from actor to rapper has been successful thus far. His single "Replacement Girl" featuring Trey Songz premiered on BET's 106 & Park (he is the first unsigned Canadian artist to do so). He has worked with various artists including Dwele, Little Brother, The Clipse, Trey Songz, and more recently Lil Wayne. His debut mixtape, Room For Improvement, was released February 14, 2006 and his second, Comeback Season (pictured above), on October 31, 2007. He is working on his debut album, Thank Me Later, which is slated to be released sometime next year. Oh yea, he sings too- jack of all trades.

Here is a taste of some of his music:
