Drake Appears To Have Covered Lupe Fiasco, Bow Wow, & Run-DMC For The Superstarz Kids

Sleuths over at the Kanye To The forum have discovered kid-friendly covers of hits by Lupe Fiasco, Bow Wow, and Run-DMC that seemingly feature vocals from Drake. The songs are from a compilation titled Hip Hop Dance Mix released by The Superstarz Kids, who are similar to the Kidz Bop Kids.

Although his name isn’t listed in the credits, someone who at the very least sounds like Drake covers Fiasco’s Grammy-nominated track, “Kick, Push,” in full, while rapping Fabolous’s verse on Bow Wow’s “Basketball” and D.M.C.’s part on “It’s Like That.”

Streaming services list Hip Hop Dance Mix as being released in 2013, but a Redditor points out there is an Amazon review for the CD posted in 2010. While it’s unclear exactly when the vocals were recorded, the most recent track of the three is “Kick, Push,” which dropped in 2006.

This was around the time Drake released his debut mixtape, Room For Improvement—which contains an entirely different remix of “Kick, Push.” It’s not entirely unlikely that he would have contributed vocals to Superstarz Kids around then. Drake was just coming off an acting stint on Degrassi: The Next Generation and still trying to establish his rapping career.
