Drake has once again set the internet on fire with the release of his fifth studio album Scorpion.

Most musicians start in music and transition to acting, with mixed results.  For Drake, he started out as an actor on the hit show Degrassi but pursued a career in music.

He released three successful mixtapes before signing with Lil Wayne’s Young Money Entertainment in 2009.  His debut album Thank Me Later was released the following year and debuted at number one.

He has since released four more critically and commercially successful albums and has shattered records along the way.  His most recent release broke the one-week Spotify streaming record…IN JUST THREE DAYS.

He has three Grammy awards amidst 27 nominations and is the most certified singles artist of all-time and he is certainly showing no signs of slowing down.
