After years of feeling like his talent was being overlooked by many people, Drake is now finally getting the recognition he feels has been long overdue, and makes it known on “The Winner,” clearly expressed through the lyrics in the chorus: “this is how my speech go, I deserve this sh—t.” The popular newcomer partners up with production team Tha Bizness (Lil Wayne, “Every Girl”; Young Jeezy, “My President”) on this leaked track to create a feel good song celebrating his newfound position in the rap game. The former TV actor (Degrassi: The Next Generation) even claims that his ability surpasses two of hip-hop’s most notable actor/rappers, rhyming “Nick Cannon and Will never did it this ill.” As long as the rookie doesn’t have any more big blunders like the BET awards or releases lackluster videos for popular songs (“Best I Ever Had”), then the Canadian rapper won’t have to wish to “be successful.” Stardom is knocking at Drake’s door, now all he has to do is answer.

 “The Winner” is expected to appear on Drake’s debut album Thank Me Later.
