Who favorited?Drake Officially Signs With Young Money
by on June 30th, 2009
Canadian rapper Drake has officially signed to Lil Wayne's Young Money label. Earlier this month, the Toronto-born rapper was said to be amidst a bidding war between three major labels.
The "Best I Ever Had" hitmaker has now confirmed he has officially signed with Young Money.
According to MTV News, the deal breaks down as a joint venture between Young Money and Cash Money, with Universal Republic distributing.
"Today is a definitely a comfortable day for me, having my team now that's been in place for a couple of years. It's just a great day."
"It's something new, but it feels familiar. Independent is a funny term," he told MTV News on the set of his video for "Best I Ever Had."
"I can go independent, but you need distribution, period. You need somebody to distribute your record and you need that army that a label has to really push the record."
Drake's official debut LP, Thank Me Later, is currently in production and due later this year

Imagine if Drizzy sold a Milli first week aswell…. Shiiiiiiit
The world rides his dick cos hes white….dont get me wrong he USED to be amazing…hes album lacks everything…and now 50’s buzz is comin back around because eminem has put them back on the map…after that you’ll have detox, how can an album postponed for so long really live up to its hype…look how many artists Shady have taken under their wing, flopped with and released…i wouldnt sign for them….ever….
YOUNG MONEY
Now where’s that Slaughterhouse news?
That’s what we care about!
As for Shady… Obie Trice—who’s first LP sold 1.2 Million worldwide—D12—both albums going platinum—and 50 whose worst shit still goes multiplatinum are all flops? Really? Not to mention that the Re-up is one of the most selling compilation albums ever?
Your definition of flopping is lacking son. And saying that Em used to be great should be held as libel.
Your Friendly Neighborhood
that has to be one of the stupidest comments iv heard and the funny thing about it is that you sound so serious about it. i would berate you even more but Joty did a pretty good job of that already. obviously you are very stupid or u just dont think before you speak.
just go on to wikipedia and type in Interscope Records and have a look at their roster then shut the fuck up. and maybe you forgot that Relapse went platinum already
but i think theres too much unecessary hype around him
in an interview before or after the BET awards, i think it was jamie foxx or some other dude,
who was dickriding him so much
i could really see him signing anywhere else than young money so this is no surprise
Wayne was supposedly leaving Cash Money to see who was interested – Jay-Z was!
Drake knew he was going to sign but wanted to see who was interested – Jay-Z was!
HYPOCRISY AREN’T WE?
Lol….Why most people here on DS say he’s trash but mad now? They preferred that he sign with Jay-Z! Why do you care?
I seen NO outcry over Red Cafe’ signing to Diddy. We ALL know the type of Business Man he is….
Toronto stand up .. Mayhem I see u my nigga ..
U up next … Vancity wake up …
Heatweezy get on ya grind …
Blockstars … it’s on ..
Team Offense let’s go ….
Driizzyy see u when u get out to Rain Drop City …
jus put it this way he is another 50 cent hes gonna keep sellin alot of albums but is gonna be very critically acclaimed about the same flow but alot of ppl will still like him
stop frontin
" His Buzz So Big He Could Probably Sell A Blank Disc.."
“When His Album Drop bitches will buy it for the picture..and niggas will buy it too and claim they got it for they sister”
nigga learn how to speak english. bum ass.
L.T.M. MuZick
what’s wayne gonna do for ’em? afterall, drake wrote for him right? I see mad pushbacks on his debut, plus mad radio songs for the broads.
analysis: nothin new
Also, currensy wasnt near as known as Drake.
newsflash kid: THERE’S TONS OF GOOD RAPPERS OUT THERE! but the majority of ‘em won’t see the light of day simply cuz of label politics.
drakey aint no different
fuck that faggot and his delusional fan base
think about it:
wayne’s connected with baby whose in debt with a dude overseas over non-payment of royalties while wayne himself has a gun/drug case. on top of that curren$y never blew up!
I’m willin to bet drake’ll be the next artist to sue his label over non-payment of royalties. I can see the headlines now:
“Drake Not Getting Paid; Sues Young Money Ent.”
p.s we’ve what happen with former cash money artist such as juve, fresh, b.g etc…
Seriously, aside from Lil Wayne, who else from Young Money has actually dropped a noteworthy album?
he is a breath of fresh air he doesnt talk about drugs gunz an killing
he talks about be suceesful an his past relationships
he is what we need right now he deserves every good thing thats happenin to him period….
