I had no idea Drizzy was even working on a biography, nonetheless a comic book-drawn one! What an innovative idea to tell your story! With the release of his sophomore album on the horizon but already plagued with an almost 2 week early leak, Drake is already readying multiple new things to offer fans. His joint mixtape with Rick Ross (tentatively titled “Y.O.L.O.”) is in the works, and his new bio will be in stores in January of 2012. “What makes Drake such a distinctive creative personality is that he’s not just one thing. His music encompasses hip-hop, rap, old style rhythm and blues, soul and pop,†the book’s author Marc Shapiro told MTV. Find out more details on the book below!
Shapiro spent plenty of time researching Drake while penning the biography and he only had glowing things to say about the Young Money rapper. “When was the last time you heard of a celebrity blowing off a lucrative tour to be at his mother’s side during her stay in the hospital? Drake did just that,†he said. “You could die of old age waiting to find somebody who has as much soul, creatively and as a human being, as Drake.”
FAME: Drake, featuring the art of Mike J.C. and a cover by Joe Phillips, will be in stores January 2012.
