Drake
He hale's from toronto and is barely in his 20's, but don't let that fool you. He has an amazing talent and a knack for production and writing. Mentored by Lil' Wayne, he is definately a prime example of the modern new sound of hip hop, which is a product of the amalgamation of soul, rap, jazz, electronica, and 80's punk. His new mixtape, Drake: So Far Gone An October's Very Own, should definately not be overlooked!
