The incredibly successful life of Drake - the most polarizing figure in music who made a whopping $40 million last year alone

There are few figures in music more polarizing than Drake.

The "So Far Gone" rapper hasn't wasted any time lapping his industry counterparts, reaching the top of the mainstream music world. 

Just six years into his illustrious career, Drake has hit the kinds of milestones most artists can only dream of.

And he keeps winning.

In fact, 2015 might be his best year to date.

From eclipsing 100 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, to winning the biggest rap beef in recent memory, "The Boy" has had quite a year. After releasing two albums since February, one solo and one with hip-hop counterpart, Future, Drake still has the ball in his court.

Drake's on top of the music scene and seems to be fastened in. If he releases his highly anticipated "Views From The 6" album anytime soon, he'll seal 2015 as "The year of Drake."

Accolades aside, Drake's success has come from hard work. He started from the bottom and worked his way up.
