Red Carpet Q&A with Platinum-recording artist DRAKE before he became Worldwide!

The Date: December 9, 2K8
The Event: Recording Artist/Model Teyana Taylor's 18th Birthday Bash
The Locale: KUSH Lounge, Lower East Side, New York City

RG: Where are you from?
Drake: I'm from Toronto, Canada.

RG: What do you like about New York City?
Drake: The nightlife...the women...the way New Yorkers carry themselves...EVERYTHING! New York City embodies class, and I'm a classy dude, so it works out!

RG: What's gonna set you apart as an artist?
Drake: As far as the new generation is concerned, artists like myself, Wale', Kid Cudi - we just offer a different brand of music with the melodies and Hip-Hop singing. We're trying to give the people a broader spectrum of entertainment and I think as a younger generation in the Hip-Hop game, we've got people really excited right now!

*During the time I interviewed Drake, he mentioned that he was a free agent still looking for a record deal, but was in the beginning stages of working with Lil Wayne and was managed by Gee Roberson, who was also managed Kanye West. He also towards the end declared to look out for him at the Grammys and other award shows in the very near future, so the brother was pretty confident in the music he was about to unleash to the masses globewide!
