Dave East is one of the up-and-comers in the game.

He just did in interview with MONTREALITY and during the chat they asked him to comment on Drake, an emcee who's had all the success he's still dreaming off. East had nothing but praise for Drizzy.

"I feel like Drake one of the best rappers in this shit," East said. "Honestly, like the shit that I heard when he was really rapping, niggas can't fuck with homie. But I just feel like he done won so much with other shit, people probably confuse it. That's a different type of talent, to be able to make shit sound like reggae, make straight R&B shit, and then you can jump on a joint with JAY-Z and go back-and-forth with Hov. I respect Drake's shit to the fullest. I wanna see how he rap with me on a joint."

It's probably no coincidence that East just teased a Drake collaboration.
