Drake briefly talks with MTV about his new single “Started From The Bottom“ which is the most popular track on IHHM. The single has received mixed reactions from fans and haters, with main focus being about Drake not really being from the bottom.
Drake wants people to know that his career hasn’t been a fluke and he and his team worked really hard to get here.

Hello,
My name is Matthew Maxey and I’m a relative newcomer as you may say. I’m not a rapper, producer, promoter or anything of the sorts, but I would like to offer my talents of taking songs that are being performed, and interpreting them into sign language so that the deaf population can also enjoy music, and the hearing world gets to experience their words being visually mesmerizing through the art form of American Sign Language (ASL). I’ve been doing this for quite a few years, and I can promise that nobody does sign language and music the way I do. I’m asking about this opportunity, because even with all of that, I’m a deaf man. MTV recently just put a deaf rapper by the name of Sean Forbes into their video rotation, and he himself is also a fan of my work. The artists, Pastor Troy and Translee were also fans of my work, and promoted it on social networking websites. I would like more information on how I could be a part of your website and spread my talents out for artists who may want to incorporate them into their work. Here is some of my work, I will leave the links and song titles, and don’t worry, the videos are closed captioned. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon!

Story To Tell by Translee. A remake of Biggie’s “I Got A Story To Tell”. Hardest song to keep my hands up with the song itself, but it ended very nicely, well worth the watch!
