Chart-topping rapper/singer Drake has signed to International Creative Management (ICM) to handle his tour booking and branding moving forward.
The ICM deal follows Drake’s recent signing to Young Money Entertainment, with distribution through Universal Republic, for the release of his highly-anticipated debut album, "Thank Me Later."
Drake, born Aubrey Graham in Toronto, first created a buzz earlier this year with his single, "Best I Ever Had," off his third mixtape, "So Far Gone." The track went to No. 1 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart and No. 2 on the Hot 100. His follow-up single, "Successful," featuring Trey Songz, is currently at No. 13 on the former chart.
This summer, look for Drake on tour with Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy and Soulja Boy Tell'em as part of the "Young Money Presents: Americas Mos Wanted Music Festival" trek.
