"Buried deep in the Seventeen archives is this vintage gem: A blog post Drake wrote for readers that was originally published on January 3, 2006 (the same year the above photo was taken), back when he was known as Degrassi star Aubrey Graham.  In the letter, Drake hilariously says he is single &amp;quot;like slices of cheese from Kraft&amp;quot; and mysteriously references a series of break-ins at his apartment without further explanation. He also talks about finishing his first &amp;quot;mixtape&amp;quot; and \u2014 in a surprisingly touching and prophetic moment \u2014 says that he knows his hard work will be worth it in the end.  Here is the letter in its entirety. Please, please read to the end, because the &amp;quot;P.S.&amp;quot; is the best part. Hey girls, I hope that all of you are enjoyed the holiday season. I have had my ups and downs over the past few weeks, but am so excited about my progress with my music. I lost love, almost lost a family member and also had someone break into my studio...twice! But sometimes you need the negative experiences in life to make you feel alive...and I am definitley living. Now things are getting better and I have started preparations for the first quarter of &amp;#039;06. We are planning to do a New York High School tour, shoot a video, I am in talks with Paul Wall&amp;#039;s Grill Shop to give me that million dollar smile, things are looking up. I just finished my mixtape that is going to be hosted by Dj Smallz (www.djsmallz.com) and I did a remix of the main single that contains a blend of a song called &amp;quot;Me &amp;amp;amp; U&amp;quot; from this new artist Cassie (www.cassieworld.com). Business seems to be the thing that makes me smile most nowadays which is good because I know it will pay off in the future. I have yet to call Jake Epstein and ask him if he will play a couple tour dates with me...hopefully he reads this, haha! As for a lady in my life, I am single like those thin slices of cheese from kraft and that&amp;#039;s just how it is...I am not loving it but then again I can&amp;#039;t hate it. I am planning to go to Puerto Plata, DR or Barbados with my friend Jayson before we dive head first into this new year. I promised myself that something major will take place this year so my work ethic has to advance to another level so that I dont break it. I really want to jump on the Scream Tour that&amp;#039;s supposedly happening this summer but I guess we&amp;#039;ll see how the year plays out! I wish you all a very happy new year and I will check in with you soon enough!  Love, Aubrey (aka: Drake) P.S. Visit me at www.myspace.com/thisisdrake! To answer your question: No, that MySpace page does not still exist. But you can view a delightful screenshot of it right here. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
