Aubrey Drake Graham, known professionally as Drake, is a Canadian rapper and singer born on October 24, 1986. He is a significant figure in contemporary popular music, credited for popularizing singing and R&B elements in hip hop. Drake first gained attention starring in the teen drama series "Degrassi: The Next Generation," after which he pursued a music career, releasing his debut mixtape in 2006. His early albums, "Thank Me Later," "Take Care," and "Nothing Was the Same," were critical successes that propelled him to hip hop prominence. Drake's recent EP, "Scary Hours 3," marks the third installment in his ongoing EP series. It was written and recorded over a span of five days following the release of his album "For All the Dogs." Drake emphasized that the tracks on "Scary Hours 3" were entirely new creations, not leftovers from previous sessions. The project was revealed through an Instagram video featuring Drake as a lone audience member at an orchestral performance in Toronto’s Roy Thomson Hall. "Evil Ways," a track from Drake's eighth solo album "For All the Dogs," features a collaboration with J. Cole. This song marks their first collaboration since 2019's "Jodeci Freestyle." In "Evil Ways," both artists assert their status in the rap industry, with Cole opening the song and Drake finishing it solo. The lyrics are characterized by a blend of self-assertion and bravado, with each artist discussing their impact and legacy in the music industry. The production, involving a beat switch, was handled by Tay Keith, Vinylz, Boi-1da, OZ, Coleman Name, and FNZ.
