When 2017 came in, Drake dropped the More Life playlist, and then stayed out of the way. Last year saw DJ Khaled cement himself as a star. There were also Kendrick Lamar, Future, and French Montana making noise, as was Yo Gotti.
Nicki Minaj found her way back to the music scene, but Cardi B ended up stealing the show. The biggest irony was how Cardi B became a bigger deal, off one song, than everyone else, for the whole year. Now, however, Drake is back, so he’s back on top.
Drake stole 2018, when he jumped on BlocBoy JB’s “Look Alive,” taking him to the top of the charts. Not long after, “God’s Plan” dropped and Drake claimed the top of Billboard, only giving it up for “Nice For What” to take the spot. Now, he has the Scorpion album track listing out, and reports say the album is eligible to go platinum behind the success of his first two singles.
