Note: An earlier version of this video incorrectly stated that Boi-1da produced One Dance. It also incorrectly set the dates on Views and If You're Reading This It's Too Late.

The cultural history we’re discussing in this video extends beyond Drake in so many ways that couldn’t fit into this video. So here are some links to further watching / reading to get a better picture of the Caribbean-Canadian connection.
The first is this video by TheNerdwriter1. It focuses on the difference between tropical house and dancehall, with a nice little explainer on the history behind dancehall’s significance in Jamaican culture. https://youtu.be/ljbohB2_WnU
The second resource is in the Statistics Canada website. It’s where I got the map you saw in the video. And it can give you a closer look at the figures I talk about in the video.

Finally, I recommend the culture writing in the FADER, particularly when it focuses on greater Toronto. Here are some of my favorite pieces:
On calling Drake’s music dancehall http://www.thefader.com/2017/03/21/drake-more-life-dancehall-jamaica-views
On the delicate balance between appropriation and appreciation in Greater Toronto
