Top 10 Drake Songs
Posted by Ricardo Companioni20 CommentsNot until 2009 did Drake Songs hit the radio airwaves -- mostly due to the success of the Canadian Rapper's third mixtape, 'So Far Gone.' Soon after he signed with Young Money/Universal Motown and won two Grammy nominations. Listed below are Drake's best songs -- both as a primary artist and a featured artist – before the debut of his first studio album, 2010's 'Thank Me Later.'
10'The One' Feat. Drake
Mary J. BligeDrake was so popular last year that he collaborated with many big name artists including R&B icon Mary J. Blige. This Drake-featured song was the lead single off Blige's 2009 album 'Stronger with Each Tear.' Many people criticized Blige for using auto-tune, but that didn't stop AT&T from using the track in one of their commercials.
