Still unsigned, Drake released his third mixtape, So Far Gone, on 13 February 2009 as a free download on his blog. Among Comeback Season’s many fans was Lil Wayne, who invited Drake to tour with him in 2008, quickly establishing himself as the young Canadian’s mentor. The accompanying single ‘Replacement Girl’ spawned a video which scored New Joint Of The Day on BET, making Drake the first unsigned Canadian rapper to have his music video aired by the station. Elsewhere, on ‘Think Good Thoughts’, producer 9th Wonder co-opts Anita Baker’s ‘Sweet Love’ to superb effect. Notable highlights range from the smooth soul of the Dwele-guesting ‘Don’t U Have A Man’ to club banger ‘Must Hate Money’, and old-school hip-hop nugget ‘Do What You Do (Remix)’. 2007’s follow-up mixtape, Comeback Season, built upon its predecessor’s good work, moving through a variety of genres with fluidity. A promising first salvo, it showcased his versatility as he moved with ease from slick R&B pop nuggets such as ‘All This Love’ to tougher rap fare the likes of ‘A Scorpio’s Mind’. Drake’s first step into the music industry came in 2006 with a self-released mixtape, the Little Brother-influenced Room For Improvement.
