Hollywood Crush's Hump Day Hottie is back to melt your Wednesday blues away. Remember, you can think of us as your new bestie who always has the lowdown on the cutest, yet-to-be-discovered guy in school — because every Wednesday we’ll be introducing you to the newest stud on the scene. (Just last week we launched this new feature with "Transformers" star Ramon Rodriguez)
You're probably counting down the minutes until the upcoming long, holiday weekend. So, distract yourself by helping us continue our earlier celebration of cute Canadians (you know, in honor or Canada Day), by honoring Drake, the latest MC to rule the rapper school.
Drake, who first burst on the seen as Aubrey Drake Graham in "Degrassi: The Next Generation," is the latest to be signed Lil Wayne's label. So, he's already rolling with the in-crowd.
Vital stats: The 22-year-old was born in Toronto, Canada, but used to visit Memphis during the summer when he was a kid.
Where you might have already seen him: You probably know him as Jimmy Brooks from "Degrassi." On the show he played a basketball star who got shot by a classmate and became disabled. Hey, at least he's proven he has a flair for the dramatic!
Why you should take notice of him now: He's now a big player in the rap scene having signed with the Young Money Entertainment label only two days ago. He's expected to release his first album later this year and he's going to hit the road soon for a summer tour with Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy and Soulja Boy Tell'em. Bonus: He might be dating Rihanna. That right there puts him in the big leagues.
So, do your part to salute to this week’s Hump Day Hottie by pressing play below!
