It finally happened. It’s been no secret (based on some album reviews I’ve written) that I am not the biggest Drake fan, yet here I am attending one of his OVO events for the first time. This came about at the last minute, as some homies encountered some cheap tickets for day one of the…

Concert Review: T.I. at Guvernment/Kool Haus in Toronto, ON
