Rising music stars who have an endorsement from Drizzy.

Future - Drake knows a hit when he hears one, whether it's his song or not. While Future was still on the mixtape scene, the Canadian MC took it to the trap when he jumped on the ATL rapper's solo breakout "Tony Montana" and helped catapult it to the mainstream. (Photo: Rick Diamond/BET/Getty Images for BET)

The Home Team - After ascending into the crowd via the mic stand, while spitting verses from his “Days of the East” Drizzy kept the Canadian energy going with PARTYNEXTDOOR. The Ontario native sang “West District,” “Persian Rugs” and Drake collab “Recognize.”(Photo: Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images)The Weeknd - What better way for a crooner like The Weeknd to celebrate Valentine's Day weekend than with some new music? The singer released a slowed down, smoothed out and sexed up version of the track (who knew that was even possible?).(Photo: Jlnphotography/WENN)
