Artist Review: Drake

I have listen to a lot of hip hop rappers, but I never met talent like Drake’s. He feels what he rappers and that is not commonly found in typical rappers of the 21th century. Drake tells it like it is, and that's why I like him. Mostly, I do back up research on the artist I write about, but he in particular didn’t need research, I just had a good feeling about him; I hope this makes sense. All I know about Drake is that he is an Canadian that went to America to pursue his rapping career. From what I learnt from his lyrics is that his parents divorced at the age of 5. Drake is the best no doubt about it, he was discovered by Lil Wayne while he was busy with his mix tapes, but Drake at the meanwhile he has been conquering the rapping industry by a tornado.

Drake’s albums like The Drizzy Effect and So Far Gone were good in the market, but as soon as he released Thank Me Later, Drake got respect from the industry, as most people I know would say his album title says it all we truly thank him. I have listened to his album and sure I have been craving for it everyday as I go to bed, it is like he is this healing music remedy cleansings your music buds, I know this sounds stupid, but as soon as you listen to him; you will totally understand.

His album went platinum on the billboard charts, making Drake the ‘it’ thing. Thank Me Later is now one of the best hip hop album. In his album he features T.I, Mary J Blidge, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Jay Z, Young Jeezy, Lil Wayne,Alicia Keys and The Dream. All the tracks are sophisticated and they have a message behind them, but in every album the is a boring song that makes you sleep and to me that is ‘Karaoke’ this song is very hypnotic, obviously most of the tracks are rocking, I cannot even choose which one is the best. I rate this album 8/10 and I am sure most of you agree with me.

I, Vuyani Ndzishe… having a drizzy effect on my ear. I am signing out. BYE
