Drake. One of the undisputed stars in this age of hip hop. A chart topping beast. A cultural icon. The Canadian rapper’s sound has transcended genres throughout the years, evolving into the classic laid-back vibe we all love so much. Drake’s signature slow, chilled, atmospheric, and melodic sound is something many artists draw inspiration from, and you can create a beat like that too.
