Music / NewsDrake signs to UK grime labelAccording to Drizzy’s Instagram he’s been signed to Skepta and JME’s label Boy Better KnowShareLink copied ✔️February 25, 2016MusicNewsTextThomas Gorton Last night was a busy one for Drake. After joining Rihanna to hot up a pretty dull Brit Awards with a performance of “Work”, he went straight to Village Underground in Shoreditch to perform with Section Boyz.

After the performance, Drake announced that he was “the first Canadian signed to BBK”, BBK being Boy Better Know, the grime label founded by Skepta and his brother JME over a decade ago.

Make no mistake, it’s a game changer. Escape the algorithm! Get The DropEmail address SIGN UP Get must-see stories direct to your inbox every weekday. Privacy policy Thank you.
