Canadian rapper Drake will be honored with this year’s Allan Slaight Award. He will be presented with the award, which is given to a young person in the country who makes a difference in the fields of sports, innovation, music, literature, film, visual or performing arts in philanthropy. Drake will be given a $10,000 honorarium, which he said would be presented to Dixon Hall, a community-based service that creates opportunities for people in low income neighborhoods around Toronto. “I am a proud Canadian, and I am grateful to Canada’s Walk of Fame and the Slaight Foundation for this award,†Drake told AllHipHop.com in a press release. Drake will receive the $10,000 donation during Canada’s Walk of Fame Awards, which will air on Canadian TV networks Global and Slice.
