<\/div>\n

On the tenth anniversary of So Far Gone<\/em>, Drake<\/a> revealed that his seminal and career-launching mixtape will be available on streaming for \u201cthe first time ever\u201d on Thursday, February 14. In a lengthy Instagram post, Drake shared an updated graphic of the iconic mixtape cover, its little boy looking down instead of up, presumably admiring all the money and hearts he\u2019s accumulated in the last decade. The post caption features Graham thanking the tape\u2019s numerous collaborators (Noah \u201c40\u201d Shebib, Boi-1da), associates (Oliver El-Khatib, Niko) and mentors (Bun B, Lil Wayne).<\/p>\n

The most surprising addition to the thank you note is his gratitude to Kanye West. Graham and West had a contentious 2018 that played out both on their records and on Twitter. Kanye infamously tweeted<\/a> a screenshot of a text that read, \u201cDrake sent in a clearance request for \u2018Say What\u2019s Real\u2019. Do you want to clear,\u201d which ruined today\u2019s surprise that the song \u2014 which features Drake putting his own spin on Kanye\u2019s<\/a> 808s & Heartbreak\u00a0<\/em>opener \u2014\u00a0would be getting a new release. Thankfully, it seems that the two are on more steady ground now.<\/p>\n

\u201cKanye West a decade ago I rapped over your beat cause you just made the best shit and even though you stay wildin on twitter these days I will never forget what you contributed to the game and my career,\u201d Drake wrote on Instagram.<\/p>\n

Sparse, emotional and cold, So Far Gone<\/em> defined a generation of rap coming to terms with the internet. In a 2009 Complex<\/em> interview<\/a>, Drake described the reason he made the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s basically a story. It starts in January 2008 when I was kinda confused like, What am I really doing? I gave up acting all together to really do this music thing, and I was really truly confused. It\u2019s way different than acting, there aren\u2019t people to depend on, you really have to build your own thing basically from the ground up, you know, so in January not only was I confused about my career, I was also in a very destructive sort of us exhausting relationship with a female and it was just a bad headspace for me to be in. So that\u2019s where the tape starts.\u201d<\/p>\n
