Which Canadian rapper released the album "Take Care" in 2011?

The story behind the answer

The Canadian rapper who released the album "Take Care" in 2011 was Drake. Born Aubrey Drake Graham in Toronto, Drake released Take Care as his second studio album on November 15, 2011.

The album blends hip-hop, R&B, pop, and atmospheric production, with themes of fame, romance, wealth, loneliness, and self-doubt. Guest performers include Rihanna, The Weeknd, Nicki Minaj, Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne, and André 3000. Its title track, "Take Care," features Rihanna and became one of the album’s best-known songs.

Take Care debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, selling 631,000 copies in its first week. It later earned Drake his first Grammy Award for Best Rap Album at the 2013 ceremony and was eventually certified diamond by the RIAA.

A common mix-up is confusing the album with the similarly titled 2011 song "Take Care," which is also associated with Drake but is only one track on the larger album.
