The Canadian hip-hop artist ('Best I Ever Had') has built a huge following with a gift for melodies, powerful allies and savvy management.
By any modern measure of musical popularity -- YouTube views, radio
airplay, ring-tone ubiquity -- the single "Best I Ever Had" by Toronto rapper Drake
is not only a hit, it's arguably 2009's "Song of the Summer." Since
debuting on iTunes last month, the hip-hop lust track has sold 600,000 digital
downloads and topped three separate pop charts.
Even if you can't summon to mind
its rap-sung vocals or brassy syncopated beat, you've probably heard "Best I
Ever Had" blaring out of a convertible somewhere.
