CongraturationsDrake Ft. Lil Wayne11rank/position
Drake is a globally popular rapper, and he’s hugely popular in Japan as well.
This classic track “Congraturations” by him and fellow globally respected rapper Lil Wayne is a great example.
Since there’s no Japanese translation available, I don’t know the exact lyrics, but given that it’s hip-hop, it’s probably themed around congratulating a close friend on their success.
There’s a lot of slang, so translating it into Japanese would be difficult, but if you’re interested, definitely check out the lyrics yourself.
