TORONTO, July 20 /CNW/ - Toronto based recording studio Cherry Beach
Sound recently hosted Toronto rapper, songwriter, and television sensation
Drake in studio for over 2 weeks to work on his much anticipated debut album.
Attending the sessions alongside Drake were engineer/producer Noah "40" Shebib
and Canadian hip-hop producer Boi-1da.
The second artist to have his first two singles reach top ten on
Billboard's Hot 100 in the same week, recording artist Drake is best known for
his role as Jimmy Brooks on CTV's Degrassi: The Next Generation. He recently
appeared on "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" performing together with
Jamie Foxx on Foxx's song Digital Girl. Drake has worked with and written
songs for artists such as Kanye West, Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, Jamie Foxx, Mary J.
Blige, Robin Thicke, and Lil' Wayne.
"Drake is clearly making a name for himself," said Carman Guerrieri,
president and owner of Cherry Beach Sound. "We're thrilled to have had Drake
in our studio, bringing down the house with his team. I've watched Drake's
career take off from his initial stages in Degrassi to becoming one of North
America's hottest artists. We wish him the greatest success and look forward
to his upcoming album."
Drake's debut album, Thank Me Later, is slated for release late this
year. The album will feature the works of Roc-A-Fella's own Jay-Z, Drake's
mentor Lil' Wayne, rapper/producer Kanye West, and Boyz N Da Hood's Young
Jeezy.
