Thank Me Later is the debut studio album of Canadian rapper Drake, released June 15, 2010 on Young Money Entertainment and Cash Money Records. Production for the album took place during 2009 to 2010 and was handled by several record producers, including Timbaland, Crada, 40, Francis and the Lights, Jeff Bhasker, Al Khaaliq, Kanye West, No I.D., Omen, Swizz Beatz, Boi-1da, and Tone Mason.
Released in February 2009, Drake's mixtape So Far Gone achieved unexpected critical and commercial success, earning him two Grammy Award-nominations and producing the hit single "Best I Ever Had", which reappeared on his debut EP. Drake followed-up on So Far Gone's success with several guest appearances on other rappers' works, which contributed to the hype surrounding him at the time.[1] In an interview for Complex, Drake stated that his debut album will be "a solid hip hop album" and musically distinct from So Far Gone, which received comparisons to Kanye West's 808s & Heartbreak (2008).
