I AM AMAZED!
I truly am amazed by a man that has been on many peoples lips lately, (nonliterary)
DRAKE!!, I am loving this man! Such a talented artist and he has truly shown striving talents, out there that you can make it without a deal.
Drake didn't sign a deal until july this year and he had allready reached success far before that, recording songs with some of the biggest names in the industry such as Lil wayne, Bun B, Mary J blige, Trey Songz and many more. (we here in Sweden are just a bit late..) He just released his first EP but let me tell you about the mixtapes in his own words '' shit sounded like an album'' and I am HOOKED!! He is truly the ''talk of the year''!! and that is a FACT my friends a FACT!
Trivia: He was the first artist without a deal to ever have their music video shown on BET!
Talent is not the only reason for my love to Drake. What I love is his confidence, Its an attractive confidence that is still humble and beautiful. Something that Kanye should pick up on..just sayin..
Not only that, but the fact that he talk about his ex girlfriends as if they were blessings to his life is heartwarming and no It doesn't stop there, for his ex's speaks about him as a blessing too and that they are grateful to still have him in their lives,
hun you must have done something right!.
quote from an ex'' "I will love that man unconditionally for the rest of my life. He knows what it is. We have history. I've known him since I was a little girl. We just have a love/hate relationship, so I prefer to love him from afar."
In his own words:
''Drop the mixtape that shit sounded like a album
Who'da thought a country wide tour'd be the outcome
Labels want my name beside the X like Malcolm
Everybody got a deal, I did it without one''
''Killing all these rappers you would swear I had a hit list
Everyone who doubted me is asking for forgiveness
If you aint been a part of it at least you got to witness''

What he has done with Swedish singer Lykke Li's song is just...sweet!
