As promised, The FADER and Sprite have released the first Obey Your Thirst documentary featuring Drake.
We all are familiar with Drake at this point, but his drive for success doesn’t come from competing with his rivals or top sellers. “I’m not worried about these other rappers, I’m not competing with those guys,” he says in the above , created by “I already know their hand, I know their move. I study everything. I’m worried about the kid that’s sitting in his house that wants to be better than me and all those guys. That’s who I’m competing with.”
In this rare interview, Drake opens up about emerging from an underdog city, internet culture, and rap’s increasingly level playing field. Coming up in Toronto, he explains, people told him to move to New York if he was serious about making it. Instead, he stayed where he was and made history by proving that if you’re a truly “multi-layered” artist, you can make it from anywhere.
