Drake: He Has That "WOW Factor" . . . Performance at S.O.B's in NYC

SINGER/RAPPER DRAKE had NYC on lock last night!



Drake aka Drizzy aka Singer/Rapper/Undergound Artist is on Fiahhh!!! I mean, seriously this dude had the ladies AND the fellas rockin. He is new to mainstream listeners, but this Canadian born and bred singer/rapper has been on his grind for a minute. And it's paid off! On Tuesday, May 27th, Drake performed at "Who's Next Live" at S.O.B.'s sponsored by Hot 97 in NYC. The opening acts were GC Soul and Soul Mafia. GC Soul is 2 white brothers (or shall I say brothas) that have some real talent. I mean, for them to not be widely publicized they had the crowd hype. Soul Mafia stayed on stage for awhile - their music is a mesh of hard-core rap mixed with soul and rock. Nice mix!
Now on to the ladies man, Drizzy!! This dude is only 23, but he has some serious swagger. He couldn't even get on the stage good, before the crowd went crazy. He performed many of his hits (that only true fans would recognize) and his HIT SINGLE, "You the Best." That's my JAM! If you haven't heard of Drake before, you should definitely check out his single or better yet, you should go get his album RIGHT NOW. His CD is one that you can just ride to - it's got that mellow tone to it infused with rap. Both the ladies and fellas are feeling Drake. It's only a matter of time before he has the music industry on lock. I wish him good luck. Not only does he have talent, but he performs really well live and not to mention he's a cutie...

Check out pics from the LIVE show.
