mixtape dropped on Valentines Day in 2006. it was a tape that he did with DJ Smallz who did all of the Southern Smoke mixtape series. it was seventeen original tracks and a couple of remixes. it was originally for sale and sold over 6,000 copies. this mixtape helped Drake get his fan base up a little, i wonder if he actually wrote the mixtape tracks. this upcoming Valentines Day will mean this Mixtape turn 10 years old. Drake been rapping for damn near 10 years now.

This project was OK. I remember hearing it when it dropped and thinking Drake had some, but not "SUPERSTAR," potential. "City of Mine" still stands out as one of Drizzy's catchiest tracks.

Comeback Season showed some more potential.

But then the coming out party was SFG and "Stuntin'" on Dedication 3 :ahh:

Complex: But you have written for him before?

Nickelus F: Verses?

Complex: Yeah.

Nickelus F: Yes, I have done a verse. Not a bunch of verses. I have helped out with hooks and one verse in particular. But I don’t write no verses for him.

Yeah I remember being a freshman in college. Drake was just starting to get big with Best I Ever Had. It was a Lil Wayne tour. Drake and Nicki opened up. But they didn't even really open up ... they performed with ALL of the Young Money team.

Drake do a song
Nicki do a song
Jae Millz do a song
Lil Twist or the other young kid or Gudda Gudda or Shanell do a song
Then repeat the cycle

How times have changed.
