He's got a club in the Toronto Raptors arena, a pool that's bigger than Kanye's, and a sonic empire. But there's one thing Drake doesn't have: immortality. This upcoming summer will give Drake the chance to ascend to an undebatable spot in rap as an OG and gain the ability to silence nonbelievers, forever. Check out the six highlights you should see from Drake this summer in the world of rap.
1. Drizzy is lookin' for sweet revenge
In 2015, the lyrics of "6-God" said there was a joint effort in place throughout the industry to make him mortal and end his reign. Success is the best revenge and in hip-hop, that's a classic album. If the 6-God wishes to smite infidels and give them eternal suffering, a timeless record is the answer. Listen to Drake's first step at revenge.
2. "Bulletproof" verses
After a decade-long tenure of conquered rap beefs and lethal subliminals, foolish doubters still question Drake's powers:
Expect Drizzy to give us bars so hard they dislocate jaws and strep throat that'll stop all of the talking.
3. We'll see if Drake "turns into Jay"
Drake is a cultural phenomenon. This summer gives Drake the chance to be forever cemented as either a U.S. pop-culture icon or another short-lived star.

5. Summer '16 will show who truly "runs it down here"
This year's competition is deadly. Platinum-certified J. Cole is releasing this month. Yeezus is scheduled to release "Waves," the "best album of all time," on Feb. 11. Summer '16 will show if Drake can continue his dominance in the coming battle of rap's gods.
