Here at Live From The 269 we like to spotlight up and coming artist as a nod of recognition. Our first is Drake aka Drizzy Drake Rogers. Many of you may recognize Drake from his role as Jimmy Brookes in Degrassi: The Next Generation (yeah he's wheelchair Jimmy). But his wheelchaired charachter didn't hold him back from stepping into the rap game and hitting the ground running calling out saysayers on wax saying "Damn whose Drake where's wheelchair Jimmy at? Now I'm here on my Chris Brown bitch gimme that." He reps Toronto, Canada and has his own crew ATF, he also affiliates with Lil Wayne's Young Moeny team doing countless collabo's with Wayne and his affilliates. Drizzy is no joke despite being deemed "The New Fresh Prince" because of his flourishing acting career. He has said despite Wayne's tokened song freestyling on songs Drake says he like to take time to write lyrics so each bar is impactful, saying because he isn't a "gangster rapper" he has more pressure to make each song monumental. So throughout December we're gonna hit you with as much Drake as you can handle, starting with his first mixtape, Room For Improvement hosted by DJ Smallz. It came out in 06 but trust me its legit.
