New podcast The Blog Era is taking listeners through the explosion of online rap media in the 2000’s, and to mark episode three “10 Dollars and a Dream” and the arrival of Drake, the podcast’s Twitter feed took us back with some photos of Drake pre-So Far Gone.
The pics also include his earliest OVO partners: Niko Carino, Oliver El-Khatib, and Noah “40” Shebib.
“In honor of episode 3 day, let’s post some old/rare Drake photos. This is of the original four OVO guys – Niko, Drake, Oliver and 40. Shot in Toronto’s Dundas Square the week before So Far Gone dropped,” the feed said.
Then they dropped a few more of pre-rap fame Drake walking around downtown Toronto. “No crowds. Just OVO, being left alone in the busiest section of Toronto,” the Twitter feed said. They also added behind the scenes photos of Drake and Trey Songz on the set of music video “Successful.”
Now three episodes in, The Blog Era is new podcast from ItsTheReal chronicling the rise of the rap media blogosphere and the artists who rode that wave.
