Myth and Manhood,” the class dives into how Drake evolved from rapper to global cultural force, dissecting his music evolution, OVO’s rise, and his impact on art, business, and masculinity. Alsalman, known for his academic deep dives into hip-hop icons like Kanye and Kendrick, frames Drake as a case study in modern artist influence.
