Thank Me Later


June 15 is the official release date for Drakes debut album Thank Me Later. The album has already leaked over the web and I have given it a play-through and overall its a great album from one of the games up and coming stars, yes thats right up and coming because even with success touring with young money this is still his debut album and with so much hype and potential its not clear what Drake will make of his career. A little background info on Aubrey Grahm as we all know he played Jimmy on the popular show Degrassi, Born in Toronto his parents divorced when he was five his father moved to his hometown of Memphis but Aubrey stayed in Canada with his mother where he attended acting school.


He released his first mix tape in February 2006 via his Myspace, In 2009 he released So Far Gone which placed him where he is today, with singles such as "Best I Ever Had", and "Successful" Drake made his way onto mainstream radio where he has been since . This mix tape really made him the rapper he is today with a unique style and a rap and sing kind of guy which appeals well to both the ladies and the fellas. As he says in Forever Remix "Drop a Mix tape that shit sounded like an album who'd've thought a country wide tour would be the outcome",and he was right who would of thought it. Which leaves us to now Thank Me later the highly anticipated debut album with features from Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Jay-z,Young Jeezy,T.I, and Alicia Keys the album has that feel of get to know me I'll be here for a while. Some tracks to look out for are Fireworks featuring Alicia Keys, Miss Me featuring Lil Wayne, and Karaoke. Now we have to wait until June 15 to see how he lives up to the hype many people hate on Drake because of his mainstream music but that doesn't seem to bother me, others just don't think he'll live up to the hype. Anyway he's out here doing his thing and having great success while he's at it.
