The way he's able to drop throwaway tracks (Marvin's Room, Versace, We Made It, 0 to 100 etc) and they becoming successful on social media, clubs, parties radio etc is unheard of. I think he's the only artist right now that can put out unpromoted/non-album material that still pops off like that.

I've already lost count of the amount of times I've heard that 0 to 100 joint this week alone.

"They have given me one of the greatest situations in hip-hop," Drake, 22, said of his team.

Under the unusually lucrative agreement he struck with Aspire/Young Money/Cash Money Records distributed through Universal, Drake received a $2-million advance. He retains the publishing rights to his songs and cedes only around 25% of his music sales revenues to the label as a "distribution fee," his managers said. By contrast, the overwhelming majority of new artists sign financially restrictive "360 deals" that sap their touring and merchandise income and offer much more restrictive profit-sharing.

A dissection of how the rapper was able to drive such a hard bargain underscores an evolution in the music industry. At a time when CD sales have declined by 15% over last summer's numbers and major labels remain more fixated on scoring hit singles than sustaining artist rosters, managers such as those working with Drake have stepped into the void to become king-makers in urban music.
