After continuing to break records all over the place, Drake took a moment to reflect on his journey to the top in an Instagram post uploaded on Monday night (January 29).
Drizzy shared a photo of himself reading through his first ever press kit (a set of promotional materials sent to the media that provide information about an artist). In an attempt to get signed, Drake boasted about having 30 registered fan clubs, as well as having played a private birthday party for former Toronto Raptors player Chris Bosh.
Drake released his first official mixtape, Room for Improvement, in 2006. He signed with Lil Wayne’s Young Money Entertainment in 2009, so the above press kit is likely between 10 and 12 years old.
Drake’s latest singles, “God’s Plan” and “Diplomatic Immunity,” debuted at #1 and #7 respectively on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the week of February 3. With this, Drizzy became the first artist in the chart’s history to simultaneously debut two songs in the Top 10 twice. Ed Sheeran is the only other artist who achieved the feat once.
The two tracks comprise Drake’s recently released sophomore EP, Scary Hours, which received a 4.1 out of 5 rating from HipHopDX.
Doesn’t change the fact this “MC” doesn’t write is own verses.
I wrote [ fake Love] and and the insert of Mary J. Blige [ Mr.Wrong] but, I never got played for it . As a matter of fact, never got played for any of my work. My gratification was hearing it on the radio. My family did this to me, all because I wouldn’t sell out to them. I’m gonna stay Neighborhood M.U.S.I.C..
Kind Regards,

Played= payed.
More like he remembers trying to get Quentin to step the ghostwriter bars up
You mean while he was starring on a Nickelodeon show? Fuk outta here with that struggle started from the bottom bs. He came out the gate successful with music.
drake outworks everybody – a lot of cats see his success as their failure – read a book and feel better about yourselves
Drake never struggled a day in his life. Mom had mad Jevv money and then he went to Nickelodeon. Started at the top and still there is more appropriate
The chozenites always play the victim, that way they can justify all cruelty against others.
It’s a single with a b-side
Not exactly hard when you grow up silver spoon fed, and rich. Come back when you have Barrs son.
A Canadian better than Americans n they can’t accept it hahaha trying to degrade him, how has dat worked out for yall?
LOL he started as an actor on a TV show though lol
Struggle..GTFOH..Other people write his songs and when he see’s material others have made that he likes, he steals it..puts a shitty “singing” verse on there calls it a remix. He’s stolen lyrics, beats, flows, dances, artwork his entire career. Fake Drake’s a bitch made pop puppet who recites songs written by ghostwriters.
