His breakthrough came with the mixtape "So Far Gone" and the single "Best I Ever Had," which led to a contract with Young Money Entertainment.

Drake's debut album, "Thank Me Later," debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. He followed with "Take Care" and "Nothing Was the Same," with "Take Care" earning a place on Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" list and securing his first Grammy Award for Best Rap Album.

Billboard has named him Artist of the Decade for the 2010s, the highest-grossing hip-hop touring artist, and the fourth greatest pop star of the 21st century.

In addition to his music career, Drake has established a business presence through his October's Very Own (OVO) brand. He founded the record label OVO Sound, production company DreamCrew, and the fragrance house Better World. Drake serves as the global ambassador for the Toronto Raptors, sits on their executive committee, and holds naming rights to the OVO Athletic Centre.
