Draper’s first big break came when he remixed a video commentary by YouTube celebrity Chris Smoove. The remix, entitled ‘Waiting On A Noob’, went on to become his first release, reaching the number 14 spot on Amazon’s hip-hop/rap chart within hours of its release. He has recently been scouted to produce an EP with Blac Flagg Labs, a hip hop outfit based in Detroit. The self-titled EP is set for release on Prime Records USA in December.
Late in 2010 Draper released his first e.p. aptly titled “The Introduction”, which is an electronic banquet of sweet synths, undulating rhythms, and complex melodies. Trafficking heavily in dubstep and electronica “The Introduction” is most striking for its refreshing listenability. You can get a couple of the tracks for free or buy the entire e.p. over at Draper’s homepage.

Draper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was a lonely one 'til you,
I used to lie awake and wonder if there could be
A someone in the wide world just made for me,
Now I see
I had to save my love for you, (I saved my love for you)
I never gave my love 'til you, (I saved it all for you)
Cupid took a hand in it,
I hadn't anyone till you.
I kept my love in secrecy,
I put it under lock and key,
I had to save my love for you!
I never gave my love away,
I waited for that lucky day
When I could give it to you
And through my lonely heart demanding it,
Cupid took a hand in it,
I hadn't anyone till you.
The lyrics of Draper feat. Alby Hobbs's song "On You" is actually a cover of the classic love song "I Hadn't Anyone Till You" written by Ray Noble in 1938. The song is a declaration of love and gratitude for someone who has come into the singer's life and filled a void they didn't know existed. The opening lines, "I hadn't anyone till you, I was a lonely one 'til you," immediately set the tone for the song and highlights the contrasting emotions of loneliness and love.
The lyrics also speak to the idea of putting one's love on hold until the right person comes along. The lines "I had to save my love for you" and "I never gave my love 'til you" demonstrates a level of patience and faith in the idea that the right person will come along eventually. The chorus, "And through my lonely heart demanding it, Cupid took a hand in it," further emphasizes the idea of fate and a higher power bringing two people together.
