"Started from the Bottom" is a song by Canadian hip hop recording artist Drake, released as the first single from his third studio album Nothing Was the Same.

The video features an all-white dressed Drake standing in the back of a white Bentley convertible, during a blizzard.

In other scenes, he works retail in a Shoppers Drug Mart drugstore, flies a plane into his native Toronto and dances around in a club.

It also includes a skit by rapper OB O'Brien, Drake's cousin and friend Ryan Silverstein,[14] and model Angelica Charrupi.

[17] Since then artists such as Lil Wayne, Machine Gun Kelly, Bow Wow, Soulja Boy, Ace Hood, Meek Mill, Chris Brown, Papoose, Wyclef Jean, Riff Raff, Arcángel & De La Ghetto, Misha B, and Karmin[18] have released their own remixes or freestyles to the song.

[19][20][21][22] On February 15, 2013, Mike Posner, Asher Roth, T. Mills, Chuck Inglish and King Chip released a music video for their remix of the song.

[23] On October 12, 2013, DJ Felli Fel released a remix supporting the Los Angeles Dodgers 2013 playoff run, featuring Ice Cube, Tyga and Ty Dolla Sign.

[27] Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating: Backdropped by a haunting piano loop and tinned snare, the production falls in line with what we've come to expect from a brooding Drake track.

Stripped down to a simple piano line and a crisp, unforgettable drum pattern, the song's simplicity gave it a singular fingerprint.

The following week it rose forty-six positions to number 25 – becoming only Drake's third top 40 entry as a solo artist in the UK.
