Room for Improvement is the first official mixtape from Canadian rapper Drake.[1] It was self-released in 2006.[2][3][4] The mixtape was originally intended for sale only and had sold 6,000 copies in 2006.[5]
Background[edit]
In an interview with thabiz.com in February 2006, Drake talked about the mixtape, 'It's a mix CD and I did it with DJ Smallz who does the Southern Smoke Series. He's done mix tapes with everyone. Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, a lot of people and he's hosting it for me. It's called Room for Improvement. It's seventeen original tracks and a couple of remixes and stuff like that. 22 tracks in total. I have the Clipse on there, I got Trey Songz in there, I got Lupe Fiasco on there, I have Nickelus F who is this amazing artist from Virginia who I'm very very tight with and we work together a lot, we worked together. I have Voyce on there, he's a singer from Toronto. Production wise I don't really have any major producers on there. I have a song I did with Trey Songz. I have an individual by the name of Nick Rashur from Harlem he's a really cool cat. Amir; Boi-1da did the majority of the singles, who else should I mention DJ Ra from DC, a lot of people on the CD.'
The mixtape was re-released in 2009 featuring only 11 selected songs with no DJs along with a remix of 'Do What You Do'.[6]

Scorpion is barely a week old, but Drake took a break from it to drop a freestyle that touches on themes of celebrity and exposure that pop on his new album.
With this “Behind Barz” freestyle for Link Up TV — a regular feature for the YouTube channel — Drake hits the booth to once again prove he’s less interested in the flash of fame and more about stuff of substance in the studio and behind the scenes.
Drake’s ‘Scorpion’ Is the First Album to Hit 1 Billion Global Streams in a Single Week
“Emotionless,” the Scorpion track that revealed his dad status, explores this penchant for privacy (“I wasn’t hiding my kid from the world, I was hiding the world from my kid”) and move to shy away from the spotlight. “Behind Barz” follows suit, but instead of bringing his family into it, he focuses on his career — and ditching those who are more into deals and dollar signs than music and relationships that thrive out of the public eye.
“I got way too big off Views/Back to the basics, I won’t lose,” he says, rolling through the track at a clip. “They wanna link when they got no tunes/They too worried about sellin’ out shoes/I don’t give a f–k about jeans or crap/Or going to Milan or going to the Met/I just wanna make these songs for the set…”
