Judging by this map Drake still has some work to do before he eclipses Jay Z. Music Machinery created a map of each state's favorite artist by compiling streaming data from The Echo Nest. The formula is simple: the most played artist in each state last year takes the crown. There's no split vote fuckery like Nebraska and Maine allow for in the electoral college

As you can see, Hov dominates the East, Midwest, and a large portion of the South. Drake also takes a few states from the South, as well as the Southwest, somewhat validating his claim on YG's "Who Do You Love." Macklemore & Ryan Lewis actually take more states than Drizzy, a fact we wish we could ignore.  Check out who your state is feeling most above.
