Drake, is a Canadian rapper musician, who is currently the most streamed artist of all-time on Spotify, with his songs having been played over 46 billion times, as of April 2022.) He also popularised the saying YOLO (abbr. you only live once). A tanka after Drake Equation by British-Nigerian poet Gboyega Odubanjo
You’ll have to find your own Drake (just ask anyone under 40). Meanwhile here’s US bassist and singer Esperanza Spalding with her 2008 album Esperanza, (Youtube) maybe start with Samba em Preludio (Youtube)
She has a lovely voice. That’s an excellent tanka, too. I love those captured moments.

Haven’t heard Drake, don’t care to hear him after your introduction and reading the linked poem. There’s always a Drake, isn’t there. I imagine the girl in the Honda as Esperanza and she has a radio tuned to a channel in her head… Very mellow music. The bass gets me every time.
