Drake’s FADER Article

A few months ago, Fader, sat down with Drizzy Drake for an introspective piece on what makes the Lebanon Don tick. Really solid interview and he touches on the “Best I Ever Had” video as well as a lot of information on his October’s Very Own clique.

“The more you know about him, in fact, the harder it seems to know exactly who Drake is. There is something almost chameleon-like about his talent.
