Drake: Bridging The Gap – Toronto to NYC
April 17th, 2009In October 2007, I envisioned a mixtape project that would cross borders from one country to another. From one city to the next, I wanted to ‘Bridge The Gap’ and provide Toronto based artists, producers, labels etc. an outlet and opportunity to shine south of the border.
In December 2007, I put my ideas together and dropped BRIDGING THE GAP VOL. 1 – TORONTO TO NYC
It featured a freestyle by a 19 year old kid named Drake over Jay-Z’s classic, “Dead Presidents”
Listen – “Drake – Dead Presidents Freestyle”
3 years later and dude is in the studio with Jay-Z and even called it himself on the interlude to this freestyle.. All I can say is, congratulations homey.. The world is finally waking up 3 years later.. Get em’ !
