Young Money Entertainment, owned by Drake’s mentor Lil Wayne, came out successful and signed the rapper in 2009.
This success sparked a bidding war amongst various record labels to get Drake onto their rosters. Two tracks from the album, “Best I Ever Had” and “Successful” hit the number one and number two positions on the US Rap charts, respectively. The release of “So Far Gone” saw fans download the mix tape over 2000 times in the first two hours of its release. The quality of the work on this first mix tape won Drake a steady following on the underground rap scene which he grew with the release of his second and third mix tapes, “Comeback Season” and “So Far Gone”.
At the age of 20, Drake self-released his first mix-tape, “Room For Improvement”, which featured artists such as Lupe Fiasco and Trey Songz on the tracks.
