Born in 1986 in Toronto, Canada, Drake’s childhood was spent in the music industry. His dad, Dennis Graham, was a drummer for Jerry Lee Lewis. His uncle played bass for Sly and the Family Stone. His grandmother even babysat the legendary artist Aretha Franklin.

Drake had a Jewish upbringing, attending an all-white people Jewish high school. Although he sometimes felt isolated, he felt as if being Black and Jewish just made him stronger. He dropped out of high school to pursue his acting career, landing a character roll on Degrassi. 

During his time on Degrassi, Drake started to cross over into the world of music, but more specifically, hip hop and rap. He released his first two mix tapes in 2006 and 2007, as well as his first music video for his hit single “Replacement Girl.”

In early 2008, he got the attention of popular rapper Lil Wayne, who invited him to join his tour. He recorded several songs with Lil Wayne and Trey Sonz, and in 2009, he released his third mix tape, So Far Gone. This album featured “Best I Ever Had,” a song that ranked #2 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Singles Chart. He then signed a record deal with Lil Wayne’s Young Money Entertainment, and from that point on, Drake’s career took off.

He released his first studio album, Thank Me Later, in 2010. Then in 2011, his second album–which is seemingly one of his more popular ones–Take Care came out. Both albums contained hit songs like “Find Your Love,” The Motto,” “Over,” and “Take Care,” which featured singer Rihanna. His hit song “Started from the Bottom” from his well-loved album Nothing Was The Same represented personal struggles and success. Even today, this Drake song is an inspiration to everyone who listens or appreciates a good lyric.

As a multi-Grammy-award-winning rapper, Drake has released tons of music that are hitting the charts repeatedly. As a lyricist, he writes with emotion, talking about love, breakups, strength, success, and everything else that a person might go through in life. He is considered one of hip-hop’s favorite artists, with his feel-good beats and catchy lyrics.
