If you’ve been paying attention to the internet lately, you’ve probably come across this viral sensation.
#MasonRamsey yodeled his way into our hearts & aisles, so we’re putting on a concert at his local Walmart to let him shine! 🎸 #YodelChallenge pic.twitter.com/3TG8IO8zr1

That was Mason Ramsey, aka Lil Hank Williams, aka the yodelling Walmart kid, and his impromptu cover of Hank Williams’ Lovesick Blues in a Walmart in Harrisburg, Illinois.
It’s been the viral video of the week, with countless covers, remixes and references appearing across social media platforms – but it’s not done yet.
There’s now a version made as if it were Canadian rap superstar Drake, and it’s so true to life.

From a kid singing in the supermarket to viral covers in the style of rap superstars – it’s a meme that started from the bottom, now we’re here.
Sorry.
