Everyone has been wondering why Drake signed with Cash Money/Universal. From the looks of it, the reason ole Drizzy settled with the New Orleans boys isn’t that hard to figure out.

1. $2 million advance

2. 100% ownership of his publishing rights

3. Only 25% of his music sales go to the label

4. He is his own man! Label does NOT own him and can not make any decisions regarding his masters, touring profits, and various other music-related activities.
With most labels giving 360-deals nowadays, Drake clearly got one up on a lot of new artists. Even he was surprised by the situation, “They have given me one of the greatest situations in hip-hop,” he said of his team.

Drake is set to head the 2009 Cash Money album line-up with the release of his cd, Thank Me Later.
