After the release of So Far Gone Drake found himself in the higher league: he worked jointly with Jay-Z, Kanye West, Timbaland and other famous performers. The hit song Best I Ever Had was nominated for Grammy in Best Rap Song and Best Rap Solo Performance. In 2009 Graham signed the contract with Young Money Entertainment and soon after that he went on a America's Most Wanted Tour with many famous rappers. In 2010 Drake won a Juno Award for his work So Far Gone in the nomination Rap Recording of the Year, which is extremely important for the young singer.
Drake’s debut studio album Thank Me Later was released in 2010. That record included collaborations with such famous rappers as Kanye West, Jay-Z and Lil Wayne, and that proves the level and the quality of that album. The young artist made a reputation of creative and original musician, and his songs prove it very well.
