Drake 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.
'Every Girl' (aka Every Girl In the World) was the first single by rap supergroup Young Money from their 2009 debut album, 'We Are Young Money.' The song features Lil Wayne, Drake, Mack Maine, Gudda Gudda, and Jae Millz. The music video was ranked No. 12 on BET's 'Top 100 Videos of 2009' countdown show.
Although not officially a single yet, this song has been getting significant radio airplay. It is from Key's latest album 'The Element of Freedom.' According to Keys, due to the release date of her album being pushed back, she was able to work with Drake. He described the collaboration as one of the best studio experiences in his life.
This was the second time Drake collaborated with his friend Trey Songz. The first time was on the 2007 song 'Replacement Girl.' That song was featured on BET and got Drake noticed by Lil Wayne who eventually signed him to his Young Money label. 'I Invented Sex' became Songz's first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
This was the hit that catapulted Drake to superstardom. In addition to receiving two Grammy nominations, this Drake song was also named 'Hot Rap Song of 2009' by Billboard Magazine. It samples the 1975 pop hit 'Fallin' in Love' by Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds.
Once again collaborating with hip-hop heavyweights, Drake performed this song at the Grammy awards with Eminem, Lil Wayne, and Blink 182's Travis Barker. It originally appeared on Lebron James' 'More Than a Game' movie soundtrack, and was later added to Eminem's 'Relapse: Refill' album. Jay-Z dubbed our No.1 Drake song as 'the best posse cut of the year' and AOL Radio listeners agree.
