Rap is an abbreviation for rhythm and poetry- but yes you’re not wrong

Dave is so clear that he can just drop a masterpiece of a tune with no promo and it will still do numbers💯🐐

Everytime I listen to Dave I think "there's no way he can keep this up" Wrong. He just delivers. The bars, the flow, etc. Just on point every time. You can just hear the maturity and honesty in his voice. Absolute 🔥🔥

Such a good concept aswell. Tells the story of how his life has changed since his 19th birthday. Not only with the start where it went from “I spent my 19th birthday in the hospital” to “I spent my 24th birthday with the people I love”, but also the maturity and confidence in his voice and delivery🐐

The amount of mention he gives to god and religion in this breeds maturity, rather than being spiteful like in my 19th birthday, he is reasoning with his problems. Levels

You missed an insane bar at the end. He said: “Did twenty-seven countries in under nine months So when the most high says my time's up, just tell Him that I tried.” It’s a mathematical bar. Tried= Tri= 3. 9x3= 27. He “tried” because he did 27 countries in 9 months.

Dave has developed him self uniquely from other artist in the UK, pure artistry and bars divides himself from everyone.

Dave is built different, uses a subject to display his talent for such a great purpose. With psychodrama, using a platform to discuss mental health issues as well as others using such songs like ‘Lesley’ which in my opinion is one of his greatest songs he’s done, he’s such a powerful influence on young ones and to see him do so much good when he’s gone and going through so much pain is inspiring.

you can't even compare him to anyone, he's in a league of his own. he is unique,! so talented!

Dave is at the top for me, for tiiiiime. Just so polished and talent/wisdom/sophistication/intelligence/word play is levels above, especially for his age. Superstar.

Good to see u my brother 🤝🏾

Levi: Talking Background Noise: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

So thankful to be alive in the time Dave drops these gems

feeling this 💥

One of the best beats I’ve heard all year.

Yo! Not many people caught his sneaky 'fish scheme' especially the 'life gave me lemons' part, "Salmon pink suit, I'm like De Niro in Casino Life gave me lemons, I gave you a branzino, and I seasoned it" - A Branzino is a mild white fish popular in Italian cuisine and usually roasted whole and served with LEMON! AAAAHHH MAAAAATE!

Dave is too slick with it man❄️🥶

dave is a m'fckn living legend !!... nuff said

1:44 ; very well said. Exactly why I listen to your reactions ✔

Goated fr fr

Hard 😤

Stopped everything to listen to this Dave tune🔥

Dave flexing at the end 🔥😂

okay hear this out. first he says ``my mom covered me in blood but it was coming from christ`` then in the next line he says ``Disaronno on the rocks, I pour a double with ice`` which is a a drink and obviously ice is a another word for jewellery, but then the line after that he says ``I take trips to wind down, I ain't readin' at night`` and wind kinda sounds like wine which is the blood of christ from the first line. Mad if you acctually think about it and understand when he says it. And i don't think it was all a coincidence since it's Dave.

" Dave is an artist that studies the human condition ... " Perfect description . This song felt like a continuation of a couple songs off his last album . It's still a great song because of the subject matter , but it didn't feel like anything new . Great review as always ...

Dave on that swaggy serious bag on this one

🐐

Coming from Texas and listening to country music most of my life, I never really understood rap. Songs were mostly vulgar. Dave on the other hand, is SPECIAL. He has a storytelling ability very little, if any have ever had.

Gasseddddd

Need that new Clavish reaction - keep up the cold vids 💎

This guy ain't just a rapper, he's a proper musician and artist

Dave Is different level keep up the great work ethic god blessed you 🙏❤️

Great job bud! I can’t wait to see him in England in 2025!

HAAHHAAHHA THAT DANM “ENGAGEMENT POST” DOUBLE ENTENDRE CAUGHT ME SUPER OFF GAURD CRIED LAUGHING MAN 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Dave can't teach us nothing. But he can help us think 🐐

Oi, it’s mad cause Dave’s 24 now, only seems like yesterday when my 19th birthday cake out, and also that freestyle he did at 16

Type of song u Got to listen to this at least 5 times to take it all in

He is the UK Tu Pac. It's as simple as that. He is the full package and understands human nature just like Pac did. He shows his vulnerabilities and isn't scared to. And that's what makes him great. Not just flossing in every single song

Wheeel up the bloodclart ting

Dave needs to drop something soon man we’re hungry

only 5 more years till his 29th birthday.

Man’s a genius

Might have to call him davezinho the way he does anything on his field of work

i feel like nobody can say a bad word for this topboy

Nah Dave is a living god he is so good

Idk why but this beat gives me this weird feeling that nothing else gives me

The Batman/Killer Croc bar was mad

dave really gave santan a verse at the end

Artist formerly known as Dave 😁 Deep track. His Emotional Intelligence knowledge makes him stand out every time. I believe the cover is Dave and his Dutch Sheppard dog Bane (or influenced by him). Bane is personal protection trained so Dave has to hold him back.

Man said he “turnt down a 8 figure deal, but that’s the only time I turn down a 16” what’s he saying? They try sign him for 16 MILLION😤😤😤😤😤

His 24th birthday was June 5th

He's up there with the Kendricks and Cole, nobody in his generation is close to him.

This is SANTAN
