Aubrey Drake Graham is a Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter, and actor. Gaining recognition by starring as Jimmy Brooks in the CTV teen drama series Degrassi: The Next Generation, Drake pursued a career.

Drizzy’s calculated rise to the top of the charts serves as the main theme of “Underground Kings” as he looks back on his mixtape days.

“Too Much” literally pulls from a Sampha record in its entirety and spins the already sobering track into even more of a heart-wrenching listen.

 With “Uptown” Drizzy tapped into the less drug-infused side of Southern rap.

The brutal honesty in “LWYHD” makes the record one of the best Drake songs ever.

“Last name ever, first name greatest.” With that line, Drake introduced his ubiquitous flow to the world on a song ostensibly about LeBron James.

Long before Drake became a household name, the rapper formally introduced himself with “Best I Ever Had.”
