The Grammy’s are always chock full of surprises, but Drake fans already have a heads up. Billboard magazine reports that the Toronto rapper will be releasing the first single off of his upcoming third album during the night of the awards on Feb. 10. The soon to be released track is titled “Starting from the Bottom.”

The “Best I Ever Had” rapper is set to have a huge night at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards with three nominations under his belt. Drake, real name Aubrey Graham, is nominated for Best Rap Performance for “HYFR”, Best Rap Song for “The Motto” and Best Rap Album for “Take Care.”

His 2011 sophomore effort “Take Care” debuted at number one with 631,000 records sold. Drake will be representing for his Cash Money/ Young Money music label as the 26-year-old is the only artist nominated from the camp. Nielsen Sound scan reported Drake’s top-selling album has boasted 1.9 million copies to date.

Cash Money record’s head honcho, Bryan “Birdman” Williams said that the awards will be the “highlight of their life.”

Speaking proudly of the label’s accomplishments, the co-CEO of Cash Money said, “This year we got something in store. We got a new record coming out this year. It’s just one of those nights that, after seeing each other together, that’ll be like the highlight of our night, the highlight of our life, the highlight of our year.”

Earlier this month, Drake fans were in an all-out frenzy when images of the rapper walking down the streets of Toronto suspiciously filming with video director, Little X hit the social media sites. The pair partnered up before producing the entertaining video treatment for “HYFR”, a record with label head, Lil Wayne.

With a video shoot down and a new single release, fans should expect a new album very soon.
