For the latest issue of Fader magazine, Mike Sylvester sat down with Noah ‘40’ Shebib for an in depth interview. In this article 40 discusses his family, how he met Drake, why he started making beats, and much more. Also, they caught up with Drake in the studio where he talks about the impact 40 has had on him and his music. “The way you hear something is not the way I hear it,” Drake says. “But for some reason, the way Noah hears things is the way I hear it.” Read the below excerpts.

All of Drake’s music—every beat, every vocal take, every bite of studio banter—now goes through Shebib. He prefers not to work with other artists unless Drake is involved or approves. He doesn’t court the press, and rarely accompanies Drake on the road anymore. He’s a homebody; he’s also one of the most successful and emulated hit-makers in the business today. “That’s my brother,” Drake told me. “Within the realm of music, that’s the only person I’m related to.”

“I never really set out to be the biggest artist in the world,” he says. “All I wanted to do was make my city proud. Noah and I share that goal together.” Drake, who is wearing loose jeans and an oversized Towson University sweatshirt, speaks in such a way that you can almost feel him revising each sentence as he speaks it. “The way you hear something is not the way I hear it,” he says. “But for some reason, the way Noah hears things is the way I hear it.
