DRAKE – SCORPION

It’s already a done deal that super-hottie Canadian rapster Drake’s new release will end up as the biggest selling album of 2018. It includes not just one #1, but two – the pensive God’s Plan, which was on the chart throne for months around the globe, dislodged by his own Lauryn Hill-sampling Nice For What. Why Scorpion? That’s his star sign and the name of his first mix tape release, A Scorpion’s Mind, way back in 2006 when he was just regarded as some random Canadian TV teen hunk. Fast forward a decade and Drake’s the biggest, if not the coolest, hip-hop artist of this millennium, making Toronto seem like the hippest spot on the planet. He’s even dedicated Scorpion to his beloved hometown.
