Drake :

My good friends,

It has truly been too long. I assume you're all keeping well and making the most of this year that has been given to us. Today is the day to begin sharing my newest work with you. This is the first single off of my upcoming album. I feel sometimes that people don't have enough information about my beginnings and therefore they make up a life story for me that isn't consistent with actual events. My family and my second family (consisting of the best friends anybody could ever have) all struggled and worked extremely hard to make all this happen. I did not buy my way into this spot and it was the furthest thing from easy to achieve. I am proud of every part of my past and I'm excited for this song to find a place in your life as well. I didn't feel I needed any interviews or radio or press to launch this song. It felt right to come back to the site that I started on and release it to the people that started here with me. Judging by this post, the tour that we've been planning, the conversations about new songs and album artwork...I think it's safe to say we're back together again. Looking forward to seeing you all soon.

Quick side note, besides it being my actual birthday today... I can remember this day exactly 10 years ago. I remember going to this sound cloud page, reading Drake's message which was exciting to read because I knew this was the start of a new album coming. I remember hearing SFTB for the first time and i really really didn't like it.. at first. Some how over the month of February, i slowly but surely started to fall in love with it. Then when the video dropped, It was a wrap lol I can remember showing it to my God brother when he came over to my house. So thank you Drake for 10 years of a Quotable line that ANYBODY and EVERYBODY has been using for years in their music, movies , skits, etc. for literally 10 years till this day. { Started From The Bottom }
