The multi-Grammy-award-winning rapper Drake has had two shots at fame — and nailed them both. He first came to prominence in the teen soap Degrassi: The Next Generation in the role of Jimmy Brooks, a wheelchair-bound character he played for seven years. After leaving the show he became one of the biggest rappers on the planet after signing a deal with Lil Wayne’s’s label Young Money Entertainment. Jay Z calls him the Kobe Bryant of hip hop.

Drake is making history on the Billboard charts again with his song God’s Plan. The Toronto rapper struck another milestone this week as the first male solo lead performer to achieve two 10-week chart-toppers on the Billboard Hot 100. Drake is one of the most popular artists on the planet, one who seemingly makes the world stop with every new release. But it’s interesting that, as hip-hop flourishes like never before, and artists continue to push the boundaries of the genre while still enjoying huge commercial success.

God’s Plan debuted in the No. 1 spot in January and has maintained the position ever since. The song is a kind of feel-good factor, escapist pop smash that listeners so desperately crave now. The song and video for God’s Plan are forever intertwined, and the ensuing package gives listeners a lot of feelings. They feel happy for the unsuspecting Miami residents on the receiving end of Drake’s charity. And they feel excited because they know that one of the genre’s biggest trendsetters has plenty more up his sleeve.

Drake first held top rung of Billboard’s main singles chart for that long when One Dance, featuring WizKid and Kyla, clung to the highest spot for 10 weeks in 2016.

Hotline Bling reached #2 on the Billboard hot 100, making it Drake’s highest-charting single in the United States (tying with “Best I ever had” in 2009), until One Dance. Hotline Bling also reached number three in Canada and the United Kingdom. The song won the award for Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Song at the 2016 American Music Awards. It also received two wins at the  2017 Grammy Awards for Best Rap Song and Best Rap/sung performance and has around 1.3 Billion on views on youtube. 

Drake’s latest song Nice For What is all about Women Empowerment. The Canadian rapper took a back seat in his own video and let a bunch of strong ,beautiful women take lead role and shine bright. The video has Rashida Jones, Tiffany Haddish, Tracee Ellis Ross, Olivia Wilde, and many more.. check it out
