Listen: Drake -- "9 AM in Dallas"

Last night, budding rap superstar (and former handicapped Degrassi High student) Drake took to the Palladium Ballroom in Dallas for the latest stop on his current tour.

Must've been quite the inspiring show, too, because, this morning, a new freestyle from the Young Money member started circulating around the Internet. Called "9 AM in Dallas," the track features pretty much no reference to our fair city outside of the title. Meaning Drake recorded it at 9 a.m. this morning? Quite possibly.

Or maybe we're just missing some obscure Fuel City taco reference in there and not noticing it. Help us out and give the song a listen for yourself, after the jump.

If nothing else, it's a pretty darn solid effort for a freestyle.
