Kardinal Offishall recalls telling Akon to sign Drake before anyone else did. "I had met him years before he started with his first mixtape, the thing that's dope about Drake is that I remember, like he was just hungry because he wanted to make that transition from the acting to the rapping", Kardinal told MTV. He also added that it worked out beautifully for Drake, because he is now signed to YMCMB.
