The Feature: Drake, The Makings Of A Mogul

For half of a decade, Drake has been a mainstay in regards to the hottest names in the music industry. In a generation loaded with flash-in-the-pan artists, the Toronto-bred emcee’s perennial popularity is an astounding achievement, and a testament to his star power. Drake’s extended period of success has largely been due to the combination of his unique sound, his charisma and connection with his listeners, the establishment of his own brand, and his ventures outside of the music industry. Drake possesses a rare blend of qualities which have made him a household name and provide him the potential to be much more. 2014 will be the year that Drake solidifies his spot amongst the hierarchy of the music industry’s elite.
