The showcase night goes down the last Thursday of every month which coincidentally is tomorrow night (for the month of April) if you want to go check it out.

Ok. I’ma just be straight and say that I’ve been on the fence about posting this kid’s stuff. Not that I’m some old fart that can’t appreciate his grind but I initially thought he was like 13 years old (based on his voice) and him talking about getting brains and stuff was just mad corny and frankly distasteful to me. Turns out he just turned 16. Now, this doesn’t mean I want to hear some 16 year old talking about all that stuff but at lease he’s not 12 feel me??? Anyways, TDK aka Tha Dancer Kid is the newest member of Team Offense. They’ve been going hard on the viral videos so peep the one above as well as a few below to get caught up. Peep his YouTube channel also to check out his crew of dancers.

“I think that when creating a mixtape, you have to approach it with a selfless mind-set,” Drake told us. “A mixtape can’t be the songs that don’t make your album, or songs that aren’t good enough to make your album make your mixtape — unless you’re that good. There aren’t that many people that are that good. I’m not that good. That mixtape [So Far Gone] is me working my hardest. It wasn’t ‘Oh, here are the songs I’m gonna give away to you ’cause I have better songs coming.’ A mixtape has become an album.

Before, I remember people used to be in the studio cutting songs, and they would be like, ‘Oh, that song is OK. I’ll just put it on my mixtape,’ ” he added. “Now a mixtape is an actual tool. It’s a format you need. You don’t necessarily need it, but it can be useful. Like with Fab and the other guys, I know they do a lot of rapping on other guys’ beats. It’s hard to tour like that, as incredible as it may be. Now Wayne, when the No Ceilings set comes on, it’s ridiculous. It’s hard to rap over other people’s songs and have it be timeless. With So Far Gone, when I did flip other people’s songs, half the time people didn’t know what song it was. I tried to pick stuff that was new or rare or just like an album cut. But yeah, man, if I use somebody else’s beat, I try to make a song out of it.”
