Song of the moment


Successful- Drake feat. Trey Songz
I’m sure you’ve heard about the newest rap sensation who not only hails from the T. Dot, but is quoted by tons of rappers (and entertainers for that matter) as their fave new artist.

Drake—nee Aubrey Drake Graham—is the most talked about rapper EVER! Honestly, every time I put on the radio I hear his music. If I peruse a blog, his name will undoubtedly come up.
I'm sure his popularity is due to the fact that he is associated with Lil Wayne (FYI- Drake was a part of the fiercest bidding war ever and now has a record deal with Lil Wayne!) and his rumoured fling with Rihanna most def upped his playa status.

If his face looks familiar it’s because you may know him as one of the cast members of the highly popular television show Degrassi: The Next Generation.

Although he was cast on a teen drama, his rapping skillz are nothing to laugh at. Seriously, he doesn’t sound like an actor who’s trying their hand (or luck) at the rap game. He actually has skillz.

Hype aside, I thoroughly enjoy his new track, Successful. The beat is ridiculous, and his voice complements the tone of the song beautifully. I like that the song comes off more bittersweet and less arrogant.

I like Drake, I don’t loooove him yet. But this song makes me want to hear more from him.

Let me know what you think. E-mail me at michelle at happygrrls.com
