Drake (born Aubrey Drake Graham) is quite an anomaly in the hip hop community. As a rapper, he's experienced huge international success, with his albums selling an estimated 10 million copies. Singles such as "Hold On, We're Going Home" and "Started From The Bottom" have topped charts around the world and confirmed him as a massive crossover star. As a producer, he founded the successful label OVO Sound and has worked with artists such as Alicia Keys and Trey Songz. His has the respect and support of hip hop luminaries Lil Wayne and Kanye West and has collaborated with almost every big name in the business.
