Aubrey Drake Graham (born October 24, 1986) is a Canadian rapper, singer, and actor. Often referred to as one of the greatest rappers of all time, he is credited with popularizing R&B sensibilities in hip-hop music through rap-singing. Drake first gained recognition as Jimmy Brooks in the CTV teen drama series Degrassi: The Next Generation (2001–2008) and began his music career by independently releasing the mixtapes Room for Improvement (2006), Comeback Season (2007), and So Far Gone (2009), before signing with Young Money Entertainment.

Drake's debut album, Thank Me Later (2010), debuted atop the Billboard 200 and included his breakthrough hit "Best I Ever Had". He followed it with the albums Take Care (2011) and Nothing Was the Same (2013); the former was included on Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" list. His fourth studio album, Views (2016), led the Billboard 200 for 13 weeks. Its second single, "One Dance", became the first song to surpass 1 billion streams on Spotify. In 2018, Drake released his fifth studio album, Scorpion, spending 29 weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 with its singles: "God's Plan", "Nice for What" and "In My Feelings". Throughout the 2020s, Drake amassed six US number-one albums, including Certified Lover Boy (2021) and Iceman (2026), which respectively spawned nine and ten US top ten singles. In 2026, he became the first artist to occupy the top three spots on the Billboard 200.
