Artists with crossover appeal and pure talent are a very rare breed in this age of trendy and totally unoriginal hip hop. One of the few up and coming artists that I respect and believe has potential to be a star is Drake. All the factors are there. He has swagger, he has great songwriting ability and most importantly he has the substance and clever wordplay needed to capture several different audiences. His "Replacement Girl" single was kind of a dud, but the "Don't You Have a Man" joint with Dwele and Lil Bro was in constant rotation in my iPod. Now I can add "Man of the Year" and you can too. Listen now! And oh yeah, Weezy is on the hook. (ok so maybe he is a little unoriginal)
