Directed by Nic Collins and Ryan Farmer.
Yeah, this is dope. Hailing from Chicago, the group consists of “three horns, a rapper, a blues-rock trio and a female singer”. Definitely looking forward to their Hard Times EP, dropping in December.

this is dope. refreshing to hear something different sometimes
nah_dude said this on November 29th, 2010 at 9:46 am
Granted, this kid does sound similar to Drake, but dude is only 17 years old. Moral of the story, dude can rap, the band is dope and there’s still plenty of time for growth.

The rapper’s name is Vic Mensa. He has a dope ep out right now called “Straight Up.” His sound is very reminiscent of drake but in no way is he jocking him. Video is dope. Shout to shake for posting this.
thatboysheed said this on November 29th, 2010 at 2:04 pm
Drake looks different in this video.
Jiz said this on November 29th, 2010 at 2:54 pm
I don’t listen to Drake much, but I recognize this dude sounds a lot like him (at least in voice and rhyme scheme)
However, the group as a whole is pretty dope. I’m loving the diversity. I think dude should step up his rhymes, maybe try to develop his own style and the group should work towards making their music more fluid, if you know what I mean.
timmy2409 said this on November 29th, 2010 at 3:19 pm
dude rapped like drake then j.cole and looks like blu’s little brother and dresses like wale’ when he tries to look fresh,nice song
okiee said this on November 29th, 2010 at 3:29 pm
^^wales clothes are hardley original. he dresses like the website hypebeast
not a shot just er facts..any1 can dress like that and alot did b4 wale
BillyClintBackwood said this on November 29th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
^^^fuck yalls convo on the flipside this is good shit good lyrically and the beat is quite calming
tyler said this on November 29th, 2010 at 3:55 pm
I can see why people think that dude sound like Drake, but no. I’ve been listening to Drake way before Young Money, and when I heard this song nothing relating to drake came up. So you guys should stop comparing rappers so much and take shit for what it is.
Teddy said this on November 29th, 2010 at 4:15 pm
Nice…
alot of hate… but haters never really do anything except that… hate… boring insignificant petulant humans they are…
Group is nice… i’ll be looking for more work from them.
astro said this on November 29th, 2010 at 4:56 pm
i mean real talk, who the fuck cares what dudes wearing listen to the music. definitely some nice young talent, better than the horse shit on the radio. also, those were not the forks being shaken up. learn your gang shit dumbass
southsidechi said this on November 29th, 2010 at 5:06 pm
Shit sounds Drake makin’ records with the Flobots… Dope song. Can’t wait til the Hard Times jawn.

niccollins said this on November 30th, 2010 at 2:36 am
This is cool stuff. Fresh young group and fresh video. Why the haters have to hate. Get over it. It’s 2010 dumbasses, theres nothing to hate except yourself. Music is dead on, crisp, fresh GREAT. The video is the same, GREAT!. Cudos to KTD & Collins & Farmer & TEHO
Tim said this on November 30th, 2010 at 6:53 am
This was cool, I’ll be checking for Kids These Days.
red said this on November 30th, 2010 at 11:20 am
OK. A little info. Vic is 17…the rest of the band members are seniors so they are all 17 or just turning 18. They aren’t shaking up folks. Everything doesn’t have to be gang related coming out of Chicago. No disrespect to anyone. I know them personally and I work with them. Check out their vids on vimeo. This will be their first project or music released period. Vic has released a lot of music though. Google him or follow him. I worked with him on the “Straight Up” ep too. Enjoy the music. They will be artists to pay attention to. Remember they are to this point in high school. Some of you were still trying to find yourself, let alone actually know what you want to do with your life.

We’re shaking KTD. This is Rajiv Halim. Saxophonist with the group. I’m the oldest (20 yrs old).
Rajiv Halim said this on December 3rd, 2010 at 3:56 am
video is exceptionally corny
having seen them live though theyre great. Vic is going places, straight up (no pun intended). The drummer, Greg Landfair, is amazing too. Their use of brass is phenomenal too. Digging the music
but really, an apple orchard?
