Drake's Saturday performance served as a love letter to the U.K., which he considers to be the preeminent hip-hop country.

Following an R&B-driven concert during Night 1 of Wireless Fest, Drake dialed up the intensity and calls on his London dogs for a fiery second night.

Speaking to the packed crowd, Drake praised London's rap scene. He said the world's best lyricists come from the UK's capital. While not putting down US artists, he highlighted the high skill level he sees in UK hip hop from London's varied music landscape.
