Streatham-based MC Dave is one of the most exciting rappers to emerge from London in years. Now, he unveils the visuals for “71,” the closing track from his recent Six Paths EP. Filmed in and around Los Angeles in locations such as Venice Beach, the visuals were shot and edited by long-time collaborator LX.
At only 18 years of age, Dave (previously known as Santan Dave) is already leaving a lasting mark on the UK Hip Hop scene after the independent release of his debut Six Paths EP in September, which saw him debut at #6 on iTunes album chart and #1 on the Hip Hop chart. Created with production partner 169 alongside Grammy Award winning producer Fraser T Smith (Adele, Kano, Stormzy), the six track EP perfectly showcases the intelligent wordplay and social commentary that Dave has become synonymous for.
The palpable sense of excitement around the young rapper has landed Dave a debut headline show at The Camden Assembly, which sold out within 10 minutes of going on sale. He has also gained support from artists such as Stormzy and Drake, with the Canadian artist recently remixing Dave’s track “Wanna Know” for his OVO radio show.
