Just 18 months after his arrival in the music industry, Canadian rapper Drake is set to receive the Hal David Starlight Award at the 42nd Songwriters Hall of Fame induction ceremony in June, reports Teen Music.
The Hal David Starlight Award is presented annually to a songwriter who has made a significant impact in the music industry through original songs.
