Summary
Everyone is talking about Drake’s new album ICEMAN (except Canadian media.) Why is Canadian media more interested in the provenance of ice blocks than the next chapter in the career of one of Canada’s biggest stars? Drake is one of Canada’s biggest cultural exports. He represents Canada and Toronto on the global stage, and yet at home he isn’t given the same acclaim as other Canadian icons. Writer and Hip Hop lecturer Dalton Higgins joins to explain why Canada hasn’t fully embraced Drake.
