Take Care is the follow up to RIAA Certified Platinum album Thank Me Later, the blockbuster debut that sold nearly 450,000 copies in its first week after release on June 15, 2010. The album earned Drake multiple Grammy nominations for Best New Artist, Best Rap Album, Best Rap Solo Performance for the single “Over” and Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for the song “Fancy.”
The Canadian-born artist who was raised in Toronto and Memphis first appeared with Lil Wayne on 2007’s “Man of the Year.” Drake has received considerable accolades for his talents. Rolling Stone says that “Drake is in total command of a style that would have been hard to imagine dominating hip-hop a few years ago: He's subtle and rueful rather than loud and lively; emotionally transparent rather than thuggy… one of the wittiest, packing his songs with clever images and punch lines that land with a snap… even next to guests like Jay-Z, Young Jeezy, T.I. and Lil Wayne.”
“We are extremely proud of Drake,” says Ronald “Slim” Williams, Co-CEO of Cash Money Records Group. “Drake is a talented individual and a humble person with a tireless work ethic who is a crucial part of the Young Money/Cash Money family.”
