'The Drake Effect' Part 2: The Power of a Drizzy Co-Sign
Welcome back to The Drake Effect, a weekly miniseries created by Fuse's Esteban Serrano in which we explore the various ways Aubrey Graham has singlehandedly shifted hip-hop culture. The second installment, "The Co-Sign," features thoughts from Drizzy, Tinashe, Kendrick Lamar, Hot 97's Bobby Trends, Genius' Rob Markman and YouHeardThatNew's Low Key.
Ever since a multi-song Lil Wayne endorsement vaulted him to fame on the So Far Gone mixtape in 2009, Drake has been surgically accurate with his choices of who to work with and when. "I was actually blessed enough to really collaborate with my friends, with people I care about and love, and people who I share the joys of music with," Drake tells Fuse in an archival clip.
