Drake - So Far Gone [Review]

We told you all about Drake, and if you didn't think we were being honest when we said the kid has skill and the ability to turn the music industry upside down, then I guess you haven't listened to his most recent mixtape entitled, So Far Gone.  The mixtape features some big names, and Drake is for sure making a name for himself out there.  His go to feature on this mixtape was Lil' Wayne and I think the two of them work well together.  Now I am not telling you that there will for sure be a collaboration album with the two of them, but I think each compliment one another very nicely and would put out a very solid record together.  I know that Lil' Wayne is already doing T-Wayne (Lil' Wayne/T-Pain) but I assume after an album or two the duo will venture off and keep doing their own thing.  Look for Drakes first release to feature some big name artists, just like this mixtape.  He meshed well with Omarion, Trey Songz, Lil' Wayne, Lloyd, Bun B, and many other big name musicians.  His style and flow is pretty great and he will have a long successful career in the music industry if he brings it on every album like he did on this mixtape.  Some compare him to a new "Fresh Prince" (Will Smith), but whatever he is like, he is original and fresh.  You know when you strike gold and find someone who just captivates you and has you listening to their music for like a week or so... That's the type of guy Drake is.

So Far Gone features a total of seventeen tracks (not including the bonus track which we will still rank).  The mixtape features some joints with Drake laying lyrics over some other peoples beats and the it also has a few original beats on there as well.  I am telling you, the mixtape overall is unbelievable and if he released it as an album, it would have GRAMMY written all over it!  Anyway, be sure to pick up your free copy of So Far Gone, I promise that it won't disappoint, and that it will be playing in your iTunes/Windows Media Player for a week or two.
