Drake, born Aubrey Drake Graham on October 24, 1986, in Toronto, Ontario, has become a defining figure in the contemporary music scene. His father, Dennis Graham, is an African-American Catholic drummer, while his mother, Sandra "Sandi" Graham, is a Canadian Ashkenazi Jew who worked as an English teacher and florist. Drake rose to prominence after his stint as an actor on the TV teenage drama series "Degrassi: The Next Generation," which paved the way for a highly successful and influential music career. Known for blending singing and lyrical rapping, his emotionally mature brand of rap, and his unique mixture of braggadocio juxtaposed with raw vulnerability, Drake has retained a commercial presence that's hard to rival since he burst onto the scene in 2006. His collaborations with various artists like Lil Wayne, Rihanna, and A$AP Rocky, alongside his chart-topping releases, have solidified his status as one of hip-hop's most successful crossover artists. Regarding the unreleased song 'Yves Slatt Laurent', Drake teased a snippet of this song on Instagram, much to the delight of his fans who were thrilled to recite the lyrics, 'I know myself and I know what I want'. The snippet was shared in the midst of the success of his latest album "For All the Dogs". The song, recorded during the "Certified Lover Boy" album period, was rumored to be part of "For All the Dogs" but wasn’t included. The line "I know myself and I know what I want" from the snippet talks about fellow rappers and gang culture. It's unclear if the song is a solo by Drake or features other artists, though Genius suggests the opening verse was intended for Young Thug. Fans are eager for the full release, with some expressing their anticipation on social media and inquiries about when it will be available on platforms like Spotify. Learn more about your ad choices.
