Thank Me Later

"Yea June 15th in this bitch wassuuuupp?!" Those are the words uttered by Drake on his track titled '9AM In Dallas'. Today is that day, June 15th, the release of the canadian crooner/rapper Aubrey 'Drake' Graham's debut, fittingly titled 'Thank Me Later' and that's exactly what you'll do. For many who haven't been following Drake's rise to stardom since his 'So Far Gone' days, this album may take you back a bit. Judging from reviews i've heard, it's really hard to appreciate the album unless you're an avid Drake listener, even the latest single 'Find Your Love' was labelled a mis-hit. Jay-Z himself described the song as "a girl who you see in the club who isn't that great looking but over time she becomes the sexiest girl alive."

It seems Jay-Z was right, this is definitely an album, that over time you'll grow to love (unless like me this happened at first listen).
The album itself starts off strongly with 'Fireworks', Drake tells the tales of money, love, family & friends with the help of Alicia Keys on the hook, not that he needed the assistance. The intro is a sign of what to come as Drake sings his way through most of the album in all his monotone glory.
It's hard to pick out standout tracks...they all are, the only fault i can pick out is the inclusion of 'Best I Ever Had'. 'Light Up' featuring Jay-Z and 'Unforgettable' with Young Jeezy are strong contenders for 'Best track on the album' along with Fireworks but in truth you really have to judge for yourself.
Now normally i'd say go and buy the album like i did but i know you won't so here's the download links. Thank me later. Flossy.
