Introduction
Aubrey Drake Graham, also known as Drizzy Drake, is a Canadian recording artist and actor. Hailing from Toronto, Ontario, Drake first launched his career playing Jimmy Brooks on the Canadian television teen drama series, Degrassi: The Next Generation. However, Drake’s true love was music. After releasing several mixtapes via the internet, Drake finally hit it big as an independent artist, with his singles, Best I Ever Had
and Every Girl.
Drake was quickly scooped up by Young Money Entertainment and, as a result, had rapping sensation Lil Wayne as a hip hop mentor. His career has shown no signs of faltering. His recent single, Take Care,
featuring Rihanna, has been topping charts around the world.
Drake is in hot demand by the music industry. He has worked with international hip hop legends, such as Rick Ross, Kanye West, Eminem, Jay-Z, and Nicki Minaj.
Standing at six feet two inches, this first-ever black Jewish rap star has shown that hard work and dedication can take you anywhere. This unauthorized biography follows Drake’s career from his early days as a teenage actor to his struggles as an independent music artist, and to finally becoming what he has always wanted: an internationally known hip hop artist.
Early Life

My best friend tells me that I care too much, that I want everyone to like me. Not everyone’s gonna like you, but I just want to be remembered as a man that somebody wants to be.
