I met Black Dave almost a year ago at a Rick Ross show. Not long after that I came across his music video for Black Donald Trump. Since that video dropped I’ve watched his rap career gain momentum and spread through the downtown New York music scene. Black Dave is definitely on the come up, opening for the likes of Chief Keef and later tonight, Juicy J. Black Dave’s rap style is a reflection of his personality and New York upbringing. His songs alternate in mood from comical anthems to introspective and thought-provoking rhymes. Download his Black Donald Trump mixtape off Dat Piff.
Whether it’s true his skate tours or his ascension in the rap game, it’s a certainty you’ll be hearing more bout Black Dave.
The video for my personal Black Dave favorite – No Gracias
