Here are the artists he has lent a helping hand to. Many thought Tesfaye would sign to the OVO label, but instead he created his own imprint called XO in , planting the seeds of what would become an ongoing rivalry between the two stars.

Their friendship remains on and off, with the pair teaming up over the years for collaborations on Drake's album, Take Care , and the Weeknd's release, Kiss Land. When she returned in , her debut mixtape featured a number of featured guests including Miguel, Kanye West and Drake.

That wouldn't be the last time the two would collaborate, though. A year later, Drake gave Aiko one of her biggest platforms yet: a spot alongside him on Saturday Night Live as they performed their track "From Time" together.

By , Atlanta trio Migos was already two mixtapes into its career, but with the group's single "Versace," the up-and-comers Takeoff, Offset and Quavo finally cracked into the Billboard Hot Part of that bump into the mainstream, reaching the No. It's a chameleonic skill of Drake's to fit himself into songs and styles with ease, and "Versace" is one of the earliest and greatest examples of that. Sometimes a Drake co-sign may not lead to a collaboration, but even a quick Instagram post can lead to an artist's profile blowing up overnight.

A year later, Drake polished his guest verse on an official recording called "3 On" featuring Tinashe and California rapper Schoolboy Q. Two years later, though, he left OVO Sound. No clear reason was stated for the split, but in interviews that same year, ILoveMakonnen was very vocal about his frustrations with record delays. When asked by The Fader if he still kept in touch with Drake, he replied: "Here and there.

By the time this comes out, I'll probably see him six more times or no more times. I don't know. I just wish everybody well in all that they do and I just go on and live my life and try to uplift motherf--kers.

At the end of the day I'm tired of uplifting people. I just gotta uplift myself now because everything else is a waste of time. Much like what happened to G Herbo and Lil Bibby, Detroit rapper Dej Loaf earned viral recognition after Drake quoted the lyrics, "Love wearing all black, you should see my closet," from her song "Try Me" in an Instagram post.

Imagine Drake covering your first song ever. That's what happened for Mississauga native Ramriddlz, whose song "Sweeterman" was remixed — although the track played more like a full-on cover — by Drake and aired on OVO Sound Radio shortly after its release in In an interview with Montreality , Ramriddlz said Drake's release, Nothing Was the Same , actually inspired the track. When asked about the remix by the Fader , Drake said: "It's just, literally, I've recognized the potential and the greatness in this piece, and I want to take my stab at it too.

Drake's global reach helps give artists an international platform that they may not have gotten otherwise. Nigerian singer Wizkid has been releasing music since , but in his profile was given a huge boost thanks to his feature on Drake's song "One Dance. Atlanta trap artist Lil Baby came up under the guidance of fellow Georgia stars Young Thug and Gunna, but teaming up with Drake on the single "Yes Indeed" helped land him on the Billboard Hot chart.

Billboard And while he has found some success with songs like Kodak Black's "Zeze" and Lil Wayne's "Let it Fly," his collab with Drake, 's "Sicko Mode," solidified him as a chart-topping force. The track marked Scott's first No. With Drake's track record of skyrocketing tracks to the top of the charts, it's no wonder Scott was bouncing off the walls with excitement when he first received Drake's verse. Memphis artist BlocBoy JB had a few viral hits under his belt by the time he caught the attention of Drake.

The Memphis native reignited his own musical career in with his single "Kinda Crazy" and promised a forthcoming album. To just stay focused and do his music. To not let all the hype and the media get to him or to make him react to some of the stupidity of what goes on in the music business.

On "Know Yourself," Drake shouted out the Scarborough native: "I might declare it a holiday as soon as Baka get back on the road. He's released three singles. She serves as Drake's image director and helped curate the wardrobe and album cover that went into Scorpion. Toronto producer Boi-1da says Drake, OB and Ryan are "straight comedy" when they get together, and we would believe it: he's the life of the party at Drake's music video bar mitzvah, and the guy cracking all the jokes in the "Started From The Bottom" video.

It seems that Niko's primary Drake duty to be a good friend. Niko recommended a good barber to Drake when he was still just Jimmy on Degrassi.

And when he's not with Drake? He's the father to a very cute daughter and apparently a decent fly fisherman. Chubbs is Drake's muscle.
