Much to the contempt of his naysayers, Young Money Rapper Drake has become Hip Hop’s reigning champion.
Successfully pulling a number of stunts and tricks on the careers of many a Rap staple with his debut effort ‘Thank Me Later‘, his acclaimed but undoubtedly short career has gotten off to an impressive start.
Now, the release of his new album ‘Take Care‘ is about to give him even further cause to celebrate.
Find out how many copies it is predicted to sell in its first week of release below…
Today marks the global release of rapper Drake‘s sophomore set ‘Take Care’.
The LP follows on the heels of his 2010 debut ‘Thank Me Later’, which after delivering hits such as ‘Find Your Love’ and ‘Over’, went on to sell over 1.5 million copies in the US alone.
And while all eyes are on the success of this project, there remain some of who are skeptical of the 25 year old’s chances this go round. Yes, the album’s singles have charted relatively well, but the buzz is markedly less pronounced than a year ago. Add to that the premature leak, and we’re left with some pointing to the dreaded “sophomore slump”.
Ever eager to plough through the smoke and mirrors, That Grape Juice wants to know…
With his sophomore album ‘Take Care‘ due out in stores this coming Monday, Rap’s reigning royal Drake is hoping to secure firm support from the 18-24 demographic.
For last night in support of the record, he kicked off his ‘Club Paradise’ tour in Penn State University, days after the surfacing of his song ‘Take Care’ which features Rihanna.
Performing cuts from his debut release ‘Thank Me Later‘ as well as a plethora of tracks from its follow up, the one child star delivered what can only be described as an energetic showing.
