I can’t remember the last time someone’s label signing was so discussed or anticipated. There were rumors floating around that Drake would sign to Lil Wayne’s Young Money way back when he was doing mixtapes with Weezy, but both camps denied it. Looking back on it it was probably a way to keep the speculation and hype going.

But today it was officially announced that Drake had signed the deal with Young Money/Cash Money and that his project would also be distributed by Universal.

Check out a video announcement after the jump with the likes of Bun B, Green Lantern, Talib Kweli, Irv Gotti and Trey Songz talking about Drake.
