The incredibly successful life of Drake, who's the king of hip-hop in 2016

The "Hotline Bling" and "Work" rapper hasn't wasted any time lapping his industry counterparts, reaching the top of the mainstream music world.
Just seven years into his illustrious career, Drake has hit the kind of milestones most artists can only dream of.
And he keeps winning.
From nabbing more than 100 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and winning the biggest rap beef in recent memory to topping the summer charts with "One Dance," "The Boy" has made his reign in hip-hop clear. He's making Kanye West's output look downright weak.
Accolades aside, Drake's success has come from hard work. He may not have started all the way at the bottom, but he sure worked his way up.
