Drake achieved hip-hop dominance in the most unexpected way possible: by baring his soul. While the Canadian rapper/singer can drop battle-ready bars and club jams with equal ease, he's more likely to kick verses that take you inside his complicated life, one where even party-hopping excess is no defense against real heartbreak. He also digs in some truly global crates in his search for beats, flipping between the moodiness of late-night R&B ballads, the thump of Southern hip-hop bangers, the grooves of dancehall, the thrills of UK club music, and much more.
