Drake - So Far Gone (Mixtape)

It's here...
Tracklist, link and a few words after the jump.
He's been on the scene since late 2006 when he dropped his first mixtape Room For Improvement, which was followed by Comeback Season in 2008. Both, proved that Aubrey Drake Graham was quite capable of transitioning from an actor, with his role as "Jimmy Brooks" on Degrassi High, to a serious hip-hop (and part-time R&B) artist. While he garnered a considerable amount of attention, other "up and coming artist" continued to dominate with magazines interviews and a substantial amount of undeserving attention from various Hip-Hop websites. While all of those artist were being touted as "the next big thing" none of them have been able to transform their "buzz" into commercial success. I've been listening to Drake since his 1st mixtape dropped and while his debut album is far from release, I'm pretty convinced that this is one "up and coming" artist who is actually going to live up to the hype.


BTW, check out both of his previous mixtapes under the Get Familiar section to the left.
