Drake, a guest on the FBI Podcast, discusses his upbringing in a poor neighborhood in Toronto. He mentions Michael Jackson as one of his idols and admits that his music is slightly influenced by him. Drake listened to pop and rap growing up, but his own songs are not exactly the same style. He gained recognition in 2001 and started making hip hop music in 1997 at the age of 11. His first song was "Replacement Girl" and his favorite song is "Feels No Way." Chief Keef is his favorite musician, and he identifies as a certified lover boy.
