The Tupac of the United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Wow! Gets me everytime. This young man is a true master of the spoken word.

Fantastic

This just hits differently

Yusuf_sahin_____ trust g

Yusuf_sahin_____ it bangs sm

Big up modie 👊

daily offender...crazy eastender

What about the kids who ain't athletes or rappers?

Kamil Ayinla thay hit differently

This was the first time I heard of him and thought it was special. Last night he won the mercury prize. Good for him.

Watching this on the day he won the Mercury Prize .... damn he deserved it and so much more

Dave’s Six Paths EP is still fantastic and his best.

100💯 best ever uk rapper! Coming from an Irish man.

Top of the morning to u brother

In my eyes Dave has his own ‘genre’ he speaks what he lives in the form of ‘rap’ he is just educating not trying be a big man . He is so educated for his age. I have more respect for him than I do for 90% of the industry combined. Dave is The future

MrWisesam123 cmonnn

If Dave keeps this up he can be the greatest rapper of all time imo

Roan Spillane cmonbn

Lol chill out

kis005 bro he’s the brst

Dave @ j hus xx

Anyone still here 2019 ?

SnuppDupp04 cmonnn

He's right Robinho did let his talent go to waste

Seen him in concert jesus hes special so much talent and grounded

So true

Just listen to stormzy their man singing blinded by Your Grace and then I listen to Jordan Peterson and all the intellectuals and really brilliant Ibrilliant . I never heard Jordan save ihe was an atheist? Shit I forgot who I was talking to I was talking to the G's man the Grimes you know you know you know who you are so no for that yeah on the Arie piece love happiness prosperity I wish ( insert ) Giggs is telling you,fuckin GIGGS BROTHERS

No Brother he's fantastic , can't wait for the Masterpiece Black Album . Just Like Pink Floyd -the dark side of the moon., Metallica Black Album . AC/DC Black Album Ed Sheeran if they give him a break would make a great classic stormzy him he's going to make a black album I'm speak I'm using speak now yeah will you get my drift You may not want to hear this stormzy is bringing his back to the lord and so is Dave.

Mans a fucking lyricist !!🖤🔥

Raw talent. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

call me schofield cos i got prison in my skin..dave explains race as well as any author or scholar but does it with such skill. mans got bars like a prison cell

Un-freakin-believable 🙌🏼

Don with intellect painting pictures like Picasso

Dave - 🐐

You can hear the nerves in his voice, oh how far he’s come. One in a generation.

Uk best rapper...Love u Dave

Here to listening after just listening to your new album as good as six paths

Any listeners in 2019?

Yeah, guvnor. Listening in 2019. Before he was famous, eh?

It really annoys me how this doesn't have more views

@Jack Trorey his fire in the booth hotel California cover is the greatest

this is insanely good wtf

One of the only rappers that doesn’t have a backing track sing the song for them or have 7 other guys on stage with him singing his song more then him. This is a true musician!

Dave and J Hus are the best in the uk atm

'talent go to waste like robinho' true bars right there

Am addicted to his music. The realest rapper

Woooow 😍😍😍

2:29-2:34 jeeeezz If you have watched prison break

Picture me, 23, a bag of sold out shows I made it out of music, I took all my bros And this merchandise is poppin, I sell all my clothes And all these hoes are ghost, I got one real girl Picture me, 23, I didn't chase my dreams My mum wanted me to do finance, so I came off beats And now I'm sitting at a desk, with a 2:2 in finance Eating pasta on my lunch break While I'm scribbling my rhymes And picture me, 17, in an all black suit Laying still in a coffin, surrounded by my crew Giving half-heart apologies For watching while they bottled me Or running when they shot at me You're next up if you prodigy, wait I meant poke a G Picture me, a road banger, I hope that you don't notice me No face for the road, my G Kill him in seven ways, lemon haze how I smoke a G Name can get you out the beef, pissed if you owe me Ps Them boys try and piss take, boy, what a mistake I'll come back with a shotty And blow your lungs out your ribcage Picture me a snitch, nah I couldn't picture that Picture me a snitch, nah I couldn't ever think of that Picture me with a baby mum That didn't wanna see me blow So she let my talent go to waste like Robinho I've been involved, I've seen the roads Where the good die young, and the bad get life And the ugly is the ugly, but Picture me, a legend, worldwide or in Streatham Known for words in a sentence I put verbs in a sentence There's action in my letters And I never compromise Nor follow what the trend is, I create my own style Cos I got my own agendas, I got music all that matters But what about the yutes that ain't athletes or rappers? What about the yutes that ain't athletes or rappers Picture you, I don't know your picture can you paint it for me? And can you take out all the man thats gonna taint it for me? And can you take out all the girls that's gonna waste it for me? Or illustrate how you're gonna get to all these places for me? And if you can't, then don't worry g you got time But you just need to paint a picture, or just sketch a draft Cos, how you know you're going down the wrong road If you're in a dark place, and you don't select a path But picture you talking loads about goals and riches With a phone, full of cro shots, hoes and bitches And a head filled with fast dreams I talk to God like it's RE About my picture cause I can't see I'm at war with my mind So I'm still with a sket getting Ed like Hardy And I don't mind Cause them man there all speakers like Parties I'm conflicted on this mission So I'm still in the mist with a black star on my waist like Kwame Guys are on my case It's like i wasn't dialling banks for some pay While you was busy flicking shanks for a name Or busy robbin' drugs, with a dipper Or you could call me Scofield Why? cause I got prison in my skin But I won't ever have a prison in my picture Listen to my scripture, like teachers with teardrops Principles a killer, all for the skrilla But, it's not hard It comes from within So don't let anybody tell you to put drugs in the cling And don't let anybody tell you you can't run, dance, sing, or be a baller You can be a king Now you can work a 9 to 5 if it makes you smile at night Money ain't a measure of success 'Cause you can have a billion and dead You can have 20 grand flat and live a long, long life with no stress So listen I don't know your picture, can you paint it for me? And can you tell me where you batch of friends is taking you And can you tell me what your aspirations are, your dreams Forget the money brother, tell me what makes you you Can you tell me why you wake up, what makes you tick What makes you smile, what makes you laugh What makes you sick Can you tell me why you're on this earth Can you tell me why you're living Is it in and out of prison Are you tryna touch a nation? Or are you tryna touch a paigon? You get your picture, get to painting Are you playing in a stadium? Or are you sitting in a station? You get your picture, get to painting Are you the guy inside the hospital That's praying that he makes it Or working with the surgeons and the nurses tryna save him Are you buried in a grave? For some pennies and a chain A memory that fades A picture you didn't paint I bet them boys think I'm panicking Pep Guardiola, G, I'm managing Stop saying that you beef me, it's embarrassing I never had these paigons, till my face was on this rapping ting Now every other yute is on chatty ting See me in a rave, it's black blades, lightsabers call me Anakin Music, money, paigons, education, fam I handle it I try so hard in my tracks to give a message But it's messed cah I'll still get you shredded by some savages I swear you don't know pressure Ask Jack, I had labels playing deal or no deal like I'm Noel Edmonds Independent, no pressure My whole team Nike'd out to the socks you should know better A-levels, no pressure And my ex just text me, she should know better I can still paint a picture, put a pen into my hand It's time to paint your picture my brother Now you can go get it

"So she let my talent go to waste like Robinho" I like it

If you like this check out panic attack live!!! https://youtu.be/kD86A-y6ErU

ive literally been listening to his music for 2 hours now

Amazing. Would have been perfect if they turned down the acoustics a touch.

2018 and still listening to this great song

YOU ARE THE BEST

Shine young blood, shine

100% Dave’s most underrated song, no doubt about it🔥 The greatest in the making

Anyone else?

Andy Chapman I’ve heard question time. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good song, it’s just there’s a lot more better dave songs

BMG Darby 100%

Agreed; just wondered.His an exceptional talent.

Nah, listen to Panic Attack

the music should never be higher than the vocals sort it out and it would have been 10/10.

This guy is gonna be like Tupac, biggie and all the other legends

hardd as fuck

Breaking down walls.....

Nice song 😭😭😭😭😭😭😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😔😔😔😔😔😔😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😯😯😯😯😯😯

Dave making statements

There's no limit to where this young man can go, so much knowledge for his age.

i dont like rap but i love this !

Mesmerizing..reps Dave u got pure talent,Ty for this.

santan dave. remember the name, the GOAT in the making.

"You can call me scholfield, why? Coz I got prison in my skin" 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Yes Yes prison break🔥🔥🔥🔥

Yes Yes madness

Read this as he said it... jeeez!

Love music right

Oi had to like,

Man like Santan

real talk. great music

Dave is sick. Wish he had performed Samantha.

Mad respect for this not into people singing in there grime songs but this was just straight up rap over simple music.

Good bloke with a social conscience !Bob!

Dave is a Legend!!!

I've never really got on with hip hop, loved Nas and loved cypress hill- typical coaster! This song is a serious piece of music, what a flow and as someone who has never really opened his eyes to this style of music this literally blew my mind. I hope this man goes far what a star !!

uk tupac real talk

Drizzy Nac ..... Agree all day.... This guy has been inspired by Tupac .... We miss Pac..... Peeaaace Drizzy..

I not here to row, Tupac-Biggie . I like Classics , I've never listened to them. Don't judge. I listen to load of stuff, I was 20 or something when he was out. I showed my friends in school in London about Rap (9 yrs old). But my point is , now in Dublin they only know Tupac n Biggie .

To anybody who thinks that rappers aren't real musicians - NUFF SAID!!!

❤️✨

too mad

Man like santan

I feel like a should re evaluate my life all of a sudden 😳😂

that was fuegooo af

Wow!!!! Dave 🔑💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

love him

Man, he wasn't just spitting barz he was telling a story

he poured his heart out

Why did he use the word "kids" instead of "yutes"? Because of the audience? Or because the BBC advised him to?

Amethyst Johnson so everyone can underw

Or because he is a Fuking genius why question what he does

like button smashed before this acoustic beauty even blessed my ears

Dave is a conscious young rapper unlike the mumble rappers we have nowadays lol may God keep guiding you to be a conscious rapper for the rest of your life. Stay true to your yourself always because that's where you will find contentment.

Very talented guy.

Am I the only one that gets this feeling when watching Dave do performances like this - actually feels like we're watching the greatest in the making.

Don skeng i feel you exactly bro, i feel like i could play my future children this song the message behind it is pure

Don skeng my man's the next Adele

Don skeng 100% he's so good spits the truth which is why his performances are moving

My kids will b revising his lyrics for gcses

'I'll come back with a shotty and blow your lungs out your ribcage' never heard such violence sound so beautiful

I love how simple and chilled Dave is despite being so talented, not to mention good looking. He's so different really hope the young man goes far x

talented young man, flow is a bit off though.

Dave has got a bright future,one of the best rappers in Britain and he's only going to get better

Love seeing people who don't know grime appreciation Dave

Billy Maher but this is not grime

Jaylano M what is it then

This isn't grime it's just UK rap Grime has a different beat and it's often faster

Grime is completely different, the beat is much faster and the lyrics don't really have any meaning; this is rap, Grime is more of an upbeat tune you can dance to in the club and so on.

@Jack Barber 👀👀👀 don't have meaning..? 💀

Love seeing people that don't know grime appreciating dave

they should've turned his mic up

he's only 19...
