An unauthorized documentary about the rise of musician Drake can be viewed on video distribution services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime. Drake: Rewriting the Rules initially dropped on Vimeo in Nov. 2018, and now, fans of the “God’s Plan” musician will have a chance to watch it at their leisure on other platforms.
The documentary chronicles the music superstar from his days growing up in Toronto, to portraying Jimmy on the hit-teen drama Degrassi, to becoming a hip-hop star and working with musicians from Kanye West to his Young Money leader, Lil Wayne.
“Discover the untold story of how Drake rewrote the rules and rose from a child actor to become a cultural phenomenon and global musical icon,” writes IMDb of the film’s synopsis. “He is the king of pop and hip hop, combining many musical styles into one mainstream sound.” The film runs 74 minutes long. Interviews from media figures and writers are included in the doc, which was directed and written by British filmmaker Ray King. However, no representatives from Drake’s team are included.
Drake has not commented on the doc as of press time. He has been relatively quiet in the news, however, it’s being reported that he is close to securing a residency of sorts at the Wynn’s XS Nightclub in Las Vegas.
