Replacement Girl (Drake song)
"Replacement Girl" is the debut single from Canadian rapper Drake from his second mixtape, Comeback Season. It was released on April 30, 2007. The song features guest vocals from R&B singer, Trey Songz. The song was produced by Terral "T. Slack", Boi-1da and T-Minus. Drake became the first unsigned Canadian rapper to have his music video featured on BET.
Critical reception
Known initially for his role as Jimmy Brooks on Degrassi: The Next Generation, Toronto, Ontario, native Drake stepped out as a rapper and singer with pop appeal in 2006, when he initiated a series of mixtapes. A year later, despite being unsigned, he scored major exposure when his cocky and laid-back track "Replacement Girl," featuring Trey Songz, was featured on BET's 106 & Park program as its "Joint of the Day." He raised his profile throughout the next several months by popping up on countless mixtapes and remixes, and as rumors swirled about contract offers from labels, he gradually became one of the most talked-about artists in the industry.
Chart performance
Replacement Girl debuted at 21 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.
