Up and coming Rapper/Singer Drake performed in North Carolina on Thursday night and CL reader, Roddrick sent in some pics and a recap. Check it out:
Drizzy Drake performs at the North Carolina Central University’s Ed Hardy Fashion show in Durham, N.C. His fan base has reached far and wide from Toronto Canada all the way through the South.
He was able to draw fans from all over the triangle. He was a really cool artist because many artist will not do shows over here, especially when he could have went to UNC-Chapel Hill or Duke.
Drake released his VERY POPULAR mixtape, So Far Gone, earlier this year and is now dubbed the next great rapper. He is currently working on his first official album and touring all summer. Peep his myspace for all the dates.
MAN I LOVE DRAKE..!! HE IS CRAZY.!! HE LOOKS GOOD AND I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED HIM SINCE DEGRASSI. HA NEED TO COME OUT WITH A ALBUM REAL TALK. BETTER THAN LIL WAYNE.!! LOL
4 REAL THOU
Loves me some Drake!!! He’s got next!! The mix tape os whats’ s up!!
I’m glad he’s signed to Wayn’e label.. Young Money!!
I wouldn’t say he’s better than Wayne.. They both bring something Unique to Rap!
…I am feeling Drake. I heard him freestyle and he got skillz… Never saw Degrassi …
…But he can rap and sing. I wish him much success!
—–Why must he always pick his nose?
Yess!! Toronto Stand UPPPPP!!!
Drake done put us on the map
Drake has talent. He is going to do BIG things
*I love Drake..Im listing to “best i ever had” right now! YOUNG MONEY BABY!
lLoved him on Degrassi!!!!!
I’ll have footage from the show posted by 2:30 today
yall gotta check out Best I Ever Had by this kat. I dedicated it to my girl.
I’m so mad I missed that show and I’m 15 mins away from central.
He is so fine, it has been a while since I thought a rapper was sexy, also I love that he sings.
Drake is what’s up!! My BFF got me into his music and I laughed, danced, and sang to his ish. Im ready for him to hit the scenes because his style is not mediocre like most, if not all rappers out there now. I just get tired of hearing about how much money they have, and how much yey they slang, and that they ‘gangsta’ with so much ‘swag’. Sometimes even hearing about them rap about ‘bitches and hoes’ can be annoying because I’ve heard it all before!
omg. i am from dallas and i sooo heart drake. i am soo upset he’s going to houston for his concert instead of here!
YES YES YES i’ve been on Drizzy since 2006 and im GLAD people finally opened their ears and took time to listen. He’s truly tslented and he’s not playin in ’09! I cant wait to see him May 23rd at Cal State L.A!!!
And So Far Gone is the shit…cant listen anymore tho, i’ve played it out!
OMG YES MR. TORONTO, I LOVE DRAKE!! I SWEAR I SAW THIS GUY ON THE TTC YEARS BACK WHEN HE WAS STILL ON DEGRASSI. DRAKE BE DOIN BIG THINGS FOR TORONTO, BRAPPPZZ!!
Drakes performance brought in many different listerners who never even heard of the guy.He had the entire crowd getting into the vibe and sound of his music and talent. Once the track “It’s Okay” came on,everyone was hype & reciting the lyrics. It was a good look for Drizzy to come through NCCU. we appreciate it greatly.much love to the CL family.
I have heard Drake’s mixtape and it is good. He does seem to be a good rapper and singer, plus he can act his ass off. Triple threat- Go Drake
……::smile::………
well now….
I heard his mixtape last month. He’s very talented and a breath of fresh air.
drizzy drake.
can’t wait till he makes his way down to Houston.
I WAS THERE!! I KNEW HIM FROM DEGRASSI BUT I DIDN’T REALLY KNOW HIM AS AN ARTIST!! HE WAS AMAZING AND I THINK HE’S GONNA GO FAR!!!
Mad Luv For Drake!..Music is Amazing!!
Coming To Houston Soon..I Will Def. Be There!!
Keep It Coming Drizzie!!
Drake is cool. I like him.
Drake is wat it is! He doin big things for Toronto…puttin them on the music map and all that. Love him!
I was actually attended the ed hardy show at NCCU where he performed and the show was amazing. He seems to be really down to earth.:)
Kid Cudi and Drake about to take over!
I saw Drizzy last night at the 4030 club in Raleigh…and had a chance to talk to him for a lil bit before the lil groupies got to him!! He’s cool people and his music is hot I’m glad he did a night off thats my song!!!!!!!!!!
Hell everyone has said what I was gonna say. Hands down him and Jay-Z are my top 2. Wayne was on-point putting Drake on his label. I can honestly say Drake is saving what’s left of Wayne’s career right now. My opinion (please don’t shoot)
@ #3. Drake’s not signed to Young Money. In his own words “He’s Young Money affiliated.” He’s in the process of signing to another reputable label which he has yet to declare.
I love this dude.
@ #10. Will be on your site today!
Listening to Comeback Season right now!
Jimmy!!!
Love drake and his music, such a cutie!
I was there and Drizzy killed it!
omg i love drizzy drake rogers!! he was supposedly coming to philly to perform but the people in charge of the event are a bunch of bullsh*tterssss!!! they had the event at one place. rumors started circulating that it was cancelled. then they changed the venue. and now its postponed. they are so unorganized its not even funny. i’m so pissed because i already bought my tickets. they had the event for april 28th when he is going to be in dekalb, illinois that same day. a niggahh cant be in two places at once so wtf. but yess, i need to see him live

I have no doubt Drake will be huge, for one he is so talented more talented than alot of these rappers. Also he has cross over appeal. He will have a bigger audience than most other rappers.

Good looking out on Drake Concrete Loop. Drake’s mixtape is a classic LP if you haven’t listened to it then what are you waiting for it’s FIRE!!!!
Drake is representin’ for Toronto!
I love him, and not only because he’s from here.
glad drake’s music is finally getting out.
I was there!!! he did a nice job for a beginner, and on top of that he we extremely polite and thankful. I rock with drake all day everyday!!! he just needs more songs with only him on them… its hard to do a concert when you mostly have verses/hooks on other ppls songs who aren’t on stage with you lol
