Album Release From:
Drake - Thank Me Later
In hip-hop, the only way to trump the inviolable law of Keeping It Real is to establish a whole new reality. That's why Drake, a Canadian actor turned surprise rap phenom, has emerged as the genre's new leading man, steering hip-hop out of the streets and into the emotive headspace of information-age isolation. It was a frontier first explored by Kanye West with his 2008 masterstroke "808s & Heartbreak." Now, Drake's arresting new album, "Thank Me Later," follows through on West's heavy-hearted promise. With penetrating lyricism and arresting melodies, it's a truly captivating debut - a rookie's ticket into the 21st century pop pantheon. -Chris Richards
