THIS IS NOT A DRAKE PODCAST is a series that uses seminal moments in Drakes career to explore the history and evolution of hip-hop, R&B and Black culture. 

Its about how hip-hop and its journey to mainstream dominance gave us Drake in the first place. Its about the artist that turned heads with his So Far Gone mixtape and the mixtape revolution that made So Far Gone possible. It unpacks rap and R&Bs long complicated history, and how we got to this moment where the line between the two genres are so blurred. It dives into the evolution of gender dynamics in hip-hop especially its relationship with Black women. This is a series about the rapper the world sees as the face of the 6 but its really about the Toronto hip-hop scene most people dont know about the one that made him.
