The Toronto-born actor and recording artist has become the fastest rising newcomer in hip-hop, scoring two Grammy® nods before the release of his debut album. Despite not being signed to a label, his first single "Best I Ever Had" reached #1 on Billboard Rap Charts and #2 on Billboard Hot 100. After an intense bidding war, Drake signed with Aspire/Cash Money/Young Money, and released his highly anticipated debut album Thank Me Later in June. This year Drake took home his first two JUNO Awards and won two MuchMusic Video Awards. Drake headlined his first major solo tour this year, which sold out venues across U.S., Europe, and Canada.
