We Made It - There's nothing like a Drizzy Drake co-sign. The "Started From the Bottom" MC has had a phenomenal, quickly rising career and he's already paying it forward.

King Louie - Even though Drake and the Chicago MC haven't publicly spoken of their alliance, it seems that King Louie is part of the OVO Sound family. Appearing to go all in, King Louie has the #OVO hashtag posted on his Twitter bio and has received shout-outs from his new team members. He's even gotten a tattoo of the wise owl logo.(Photo: King Louie via Instagram)
IStillLoveTuesdays - Someone tried to steal all of the greatness of "Tuesday" away from ILoveMakonnen. The OVO-signee was at the club — yes, on a Tuesday — performing his hit remix featuring Drake when a front-row concert-goer grabbed him, slammed him on the stage and punched him until he was pulled away.No word yet on why the unidentified "fan" was so upset (was it his girl in the cut?). Mak simply got up and continued with his song. (Photo: Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Images)Bobby Shmurda - "You're my boss, you're my motherf***in' idol," Drake said to Lil Wayne on their Drake vs. Lil Wayne tour stop in Holmdel. "But I'm telling you, tonight in Jersey, they came for that new s**t!"The Canadian rapper then brought out Bobby Shmurda to the crowd of already screaming fans. The cheers got louder as the Brooklyn-bred Internet sensation performed his popular "Hot N***a" song and marinated in his Shmoney Dance spotlight before handing the stage back over to Drizzy.(Photo: Johnny Nunez/WireImage)
