Started from the bottom now we’re here!!!!!
Where could such surreal words come from? Well, his mom calls him Aubrey, some big wigs may refer to him as Mr. Graham, Degrassi fans still call him Jimmy Brooks, but we call him Drake. The Toronto born, hip-hop crooner continues to blaze up the charts with “Started from the Bottom” from his forth coming release, Nothing Was the Same
Released back in January, “Started from the Bottom” is still going strong. With its skillful drum and snare gymnastics, and piano loop addition, the song addresses Drizzy’s early life and career beginnings. The accompanying video also portrays this with an image of him working in retail. The end of the video showcases him enjoying the fruits of his labor while partying in the Dominican Republic. When he commented on the song’s concept, he stated that he feels that people don’t posses enough information about his beginnings and this causes them to make up stories about him that aren’t consistent with actual events. In an interview he once said, “I did not buy my way into this spot, and it was the furthest thing from easy to achieve. I am proud of every part of my past, and I’m excited for this song to find a place in your life as well“.
Throughout the song, Drake’s mood is often introspective and confident; as well as, energetic and humorous. Known for his genuine, merciful lyrics with soulful melodies, Drizzy rarely disappoints.
In the beginning, “Started from the Bottom” reached number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Drake’s eleventh top 10 hit on the chart. The following week, the song reached a new peak of number 6 on the same chart and can only go higher.
Keep the hits coming Drizzy! We’re ready for the next one!
