DRAKE SHARES HIS TOP 5 FAVOURITE RAPPERS OF ALL TIME

Earlier this week, Drake provided his fans with a spontaneous insight into his personal top five rappers of all time. Drake announced his list including Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Andre 3000, Notorious B.I.G. and Toronto-based rapper Young Tony (also known as OVO Hush), via the comments section of Instagram on Thursday.
He took to Young Tony’s comments, on a post displaying Tony’s early mixtapes, writing “My top 5 is Biggie, Hov, Wayne, Young Tony and 3000 since nobody asked.”
This spur-of-the-moment comment, unsurprisingly, attracted an abundance of likes and comments from his fans.
Whilst it may not come as surprise to his fans, these listed rappers have had a major influential impact on Drake, with elements from each artist being heard within the rapper’s own music. Having also collaborated with the majority of those mentioned, or at least having them referenced in a song, proves Drake’s admiration for those who have inspired and helped him define his own artistic style.
Featuring Not3s, B Young, JME and more artists, the grime star is back with a new album. Chip’s new sound includes previously released songs like “My Girl’ and “Right Now”, alongside 10 brand new tracks. He took a break from the grime scene to take on more of a pop sound in previous years, but has recently returned to where he belongs and this new album shows he’s not going anywhere- the album cover is so cute how can you not have a listen.
Thought two full-length album’s in 2018 was enough for Mr West? Think again. The release date for his third, yes third (!), album this year may be imminent due to him not to subtly hinting at it. Here is everything we know so far…
The album’s name is a combination of “Ye” and “Gandhi”, as Kanye merging “Ye” and “Jesus” for “Yeezus” wasn’t bad enough. News of the project began earlier in September when West dropped some tweets suggesting another album, and we all know he loves stirring things up on twitter. The “Touch The Sky” singer took these hints further on Instagram, posting a picture of a billboard with the caption “YANDHI 9 29 18” which we think is the release date, meaning it’s coming any day now. Also he potentially dropped the album artwork on insta- a minidisc with purple tape, copying his 2013 YEEZUS album.
Speculations have also suggested Chance the Rapper will feature on the album as the pair are already working on a new album together called “Good Ass Job”. Does Kanye West ever sleep or is he just constantly working on new albums? Lil Pump is also another suspected feature artists after him and Ye released “I Love It” earlier this month alongside that weird, weird cartoon music video of them .
AJ Tracey has linked up with Californian producer D33J for a brand-new track named “Other Man”. The collab brings together the grime artist’s distinct British style mixed with a LA rap-inspired production for a innovative sound.
This is not the first sound to be produced outside the West London native’s comfort zone. His track “3Am” with Bauer presents his experimental sounds, along with “Butterflies” with Not3s which also apparently was made by the pair sat on a sofa in 20 minutes. If only we were that musically talented…
