Happy Birthday Aubrey. Or as they say in Yiddish, A freilekhn geburtstog! Or something like that. The boy from Toronto turns 27 today. We figured, what better way to celebrate the 27th anniversary of Drake's birth than to reflect on his career-long body of work? From Comeback Season to Nothing Was The Same, we compiled (at least what we think are) the 27 strongest tracks from his catalogue.

Every few years, there is a shift within a genre that meets the public's ire or adoration (usually in equal parts). Drake represents a shift in hip-hop towards a spacious sound-scape and nakedly expressive emoting.

Artist: Drake Album: Nothing Was The Same Label: Cash Money Records Release Date: September 24, 2013 It's lonely at the top. "No new friends." "Versace, Versace". "Y.O.L.O." Over the past six months, Drake's music has been nonstop fuel for memes and Instagram hashtags, so it makes sense that he'd rather spend some time by himself than participate in a culture he's largely contributed to. After all, you don't sh*t where you eat.

Drizzy keeps the new music coming with his second track of the evening.

The "I'm On One" lineup returns for another banger to rule the summer.
