DRAKE AT THE JAMES L. KNIGHT CENTER

The charismatic rapper/actor, Drake, has just added a second show to his Miami’s James L. Knight Center Performance.  The second concert will be held on Monday, September 20th at 8PM.  The first show on Tuesday, September 21st is now Sold Out.

Known initially for his role as “Jimmy Brooks” on Degrassi: The Next Generation, Toronto, Ontario, native Drake stepped out as a rapper and singer with pop appeal when he initiated a series of mixtapes. A year later, despite being unsigned, he scored major exposure when his cocky and laid-back track “Replacement Girl,” featuring Trey Songz, was featured on BET’s 106 & Park program as its “Joint of the Day.” He raised his profile throughout the next several months by popping up on countless mixtapes and remixes, and as rumors swirled about contract offers from labels, he gradually became one of the most talked-about artists in the industry. It did not hurt that he had support from the likes of Kanye West, Jay-Z, and Lil Wayne. By the end of June 2009, “Best I Ever Had,” a promotional single, had climbed to number two on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. After a fierce bidding war, Drake signed with Universal Motown in late summer and released an EP (So Far Gone) made up of songs from his popular So Far Gone mixtape. It peaked at number six on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart and won a 2010 Juno Award for Rap Recording of the Year. Thank Me Later, a full-length album featuring collaborations with the Kings of Leon, The-Dream, Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Lil Wayne, was issued through Young Money the following year to great critical acclaim.
