Aubrey Drake Graham, also known as Drake is a well-known artist today in our world. His fame first started when he got is first role as Jimmy Brooks on a Canadian teen drama TV series “Degrassi: The Next Generation”. As he gained popularity as small screen actor, Drake couldn’t resist trying out the music industry. Drake made his debut on Billboard Hot 100 through “Best I Ever Had”. This tract climbed to number 18 on the U.S singles chart, also peaked number 1 on Billboard Hot Rap Tracks, and at number 2 on Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Drake reached his popularity as an indie singer, being signed to no record label. My favorite album by Drake is Take Care which was released on November 15th, 2011. This album has songs that can relate to you like “Take Care” featuring Rihanna. "Take Care" is one of the most anticipated tracks on Drake's sophomore album. This track has so much emotion into it; it makes me feel like there is someone out there that does take care of you even if you don’t realize it. This album has many feels to it; so you will feel more than one emotion. Another of my favorite song in this album is “Make Me Proud” feat. Nicki Minaj. This track encourages you to make those around you proud through being successful in life. "It's what Drake does best, collapsing many moods – arrogance, sadness, tenderness and self-pity – into one vast, squish-souled emotion" says Rolling Stone critics. I strongly agree with Rolling Stones because Drake does have many moods to his music. You can connect with him and the messege he is sending. Take Care is the best album of 2011.
