Drake

To me, Drake is the artist who quietly rewrote hip-hop's emotional rulebook. A Canadian from Toronto conquering the American rap throne is already remarkable, but his real fingerprint is dissolving the line between rapping and singing, a move you now hear everywhere. The shelf of Grammys and an early Canada's Walk of Fame star confirm the impact. He's a shrewd entrepreneur too, but what interests me is his willingness to make both his bragging and his vulnerability into the same song. That honesty, I think, is his actual superpower.
