Drake Strikes Gold!

Rihanna‘s rumored boyfriend, Drake, just scored big with a record deal with Young Money and Universal Republic.

Drake’s debut album, Thank Me Later, is slated for a late 2009 release and features collaborations with Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Jay-Z.

Drake will be supporting Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy and Soulja Boy this summer on their Young Money Presents: Americas Most Wanted Music Festival tour.

All the labels were trying to sign him and he ended up going with Wayne’s label for a cool $3 mill.

Nice!
