In February 2006, Drake released his first mixtape Room for Improvement. It was made available via his website and official MySpace page. From the success of his first mixtape, he later began releasing more, capitalizing from the buzz.
In 2007, he released Comeback Season to much critical acclaim and praise. It was from here on where Drake started gaining popularity when he did his first song with Lil Wayne, a remix of the already popular song "Man of the Year" which Wayne didn't rap in but had ad-libs in the end of the song. Also in 2007, Drake became the first unsigned Canadian rapper to have his music video featured on BET when his first single, "Replacement Girl" was featured as the "New Joint of the Day" on April 30, 2007.[13] In 2008, he released Heartbreak Drake, another popular mixtape release which helped gain more acclaim and buzz for Drake. After the minor success of Heartbreak Drake, Drake collaborated on a mixtape titled, Thomashow Time, which featured his friend and fellow rapper Thomashow. So Far Gone, which included Drake's mentor Lil Wayne, and members of Young Money, was released in 2009.
While working on his mixtapes and his album, Drake worked with Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Trey Songz, Robin Thicke, Little Brother, Mary J. Blige, and Jamie Foxx. Drake has also written for Jazz Cartier, Bishop Brigante, and Dr. Dre.
