This marks to be the first single off <strong>Drizzy\u2019s<\/strong> upcoming, yet untitled, third studio album. <\/p>\n<p><strong>The Mike Zombie<\/strong> produced <strong><em>\u201cStarted From The Bottom\u201d<\/em><\/strong> finds the actor-tunred-rapper reflecting upon a few of the events that lead path towards music making success.
