Who's this Drake guy everyone is talking about recently? Everyone keeps raving about this "Kiki" song.
Well, as you may be aware, he's a Canadian rapper, but also a singer/songwriter, and dabbles in record producing and acting, as well as entrepreneurship. He's been big since around 2010,since his debut album "Thank Me Later." Started off hot, since it debuted at #1 on the US Billboard 200.
Oh wow, so he's actually done a lot. No wonder people talk about him a lot. What are some of his biggest hits?
Really, everything he's done musically has been successful. His next albums, 2011's "Take Care" and 2013's "Nothing Was the Same," went quadruple platinum and triple platinum, respectively, in the U.S. His second album earned a Grammy for best rap album. You hear about him because of his wide audience and success.
That's quite a long list of achievements. How old is he?
He was born on October 24th, 1986, so he's only 31. He's reached a lot of success by his age. Interestingly enough, he had success as an actor before he did as a rapper, and was known for that first. He was in the teen drama "Degrassi."
Not many people can even DREAM of success to that degree. And so young too. What is he up to these days?
He's since released two mixtapes and a fourth album, "Views," in 2016, all of which have topped the charts and earned him more accolades. So, he's continued his success and stayed in people's minds and on their stereos.
