DRAKE - 'Over'



Origin: Toronto, ON
Position: NUMBER ONE
Cherchez La Moose: The anthem has arrived. Not only is Drake's Over the best single of the summer, but it's one of the best hip hop songs in Canadian history. Oh and don't even get me started on how flawless the eye-catching video is. This is Drake's Big Moment, and everyone knows it. The track's beat is cinematic drama, powerful yet understated enough to let Drake's memorable hook take center stage when it needs to. It's the best track off of his new album, the solid-yet-slightly-overpraised Thank Me Later, and it's what I'll remember of Drake once his hype machine eventually cools off.
