Drake: The Teen Soap Star Who Rewired Hip-Hop | WILF

A fifteen-year-old kid hired lawyers to get out of a wheelchair. Not a real one — a fictional one, on a Canadian teen drama called Degrassi. The producers ignored him. He stayed in the chair. He needed the $50,000-a-year paycheck to keep his sick mother alive.

Today: 359 Billboard Hot 100 entries — the most in history. Over 170 million records sold. 115+ billion Spotify streams. A $400 million deal with Universal Music Group. OVO Sound, NOCTA, DreamCrew, Virginia Black, and a courtside seat at every Raptors playoff game.

In this episode of WILF (What I Learned From), we break down the mindset of a man who went from "Wheelchair Jimmy" to the most dominant force in modern music. Not by being the hardest or the most lyrical — but by adapting faster than anyone else in the room. 5 lessons from the rapper who rewired hip-hop.
