Download: Drake - It's Over (via Pitchfork).

Young Money's latest and greatest, Drake, has come a long way in a short time. From starring in Degrassi Junior High to trading verses with Lil Wayne, it's been a meteoric rise, and Drake's latest single reflects the changes he's seen since he was put on.

Rocky horns ring in the intro, and the verse kicks out with marching band drums. It's triumphant, it's military, it's presice, and yet the chorus finds Drake asking himself, 'What am I doin?', until he realises, 'I'm doin me'. It's a perfect ruse, and the perfect song to show off a young star in control and on the rise.
