Last night Drake was in Queens and not actually running laps on chumps on Rainbow Road; there are multiple eyewitnesses that can corroborate this.

As the Drake VS Lil Wayne tour crushed its Queens appearance last evening in all of its Street Fighter II flavored glory, one fan of both Drake and Mario Kart 8 has penned a surprisingly listenable mash-up of Drake's 0 to 100 brimming over with Mario Kart references. Seriously, this guy's actually got some flow and isn't just a YouTube toss off. Levar Allen hails from Drake's hometown of Toronto and while this may not be his first video-game seasoned track, this is one that perfectly inhabits the Venn Diagram of fans of both Drizzy and Nintendo. His YouTube channel levarslaysdragons has seen the view count on this thing blow up and it's with good reason, it's actually not half-bad. Keep an eye on the subtitles as the lyrics are deft in their Nintendo-themed substitutions.
