The story
Drake began as a Canadian teen-drama actor and became the most-streamed artist of the 2010s by blurring the line between rapping and singing until the distinction stopped mattering. So Far Gone established the template in 2009: melodic, conversational, emotionally exposed. He co-founded OVO Sound in 2012 and has placed more entries on the Billboard Hot 100 than any other artist.
