Throughout the year, The Recording Academy (the folks behind The Grammys) hosts a series of conversations with artists from all over the country. Last week, the Nashville chapter held a Q&A with hip-hop artist Drake, whose fascinating background and radio hits (such as this summer’s “Best I Ever Had”) have thrust him into the spotlight as the genre’s up-and-coming artist to watch. We sent guest writer and Recording Academy member Andrew Tritter to the program to take down what he could from the Academy’s conversation with the rapper who is poised to take over 2010.

Caught this on TRF. There’s been lots of blogoshpere love for this new Emilio project but I didn’t know 1da was on it. Like we’ve been saying…don’t be surprised to start seeing our local producers popping up on Yankee and international projects even more often. Shouts to Green Lantern.
