Psychodrama should have been nominated for a Grammy.

No lie Dave speaks like someone who has experienced a lot in his life already despite being only 21. He is by far one of the most intelligent rappers i've ever heard

For someone so young it’s mad how switched on and mature he is

I need another hour of this. So interesting to listen too. He’s 21... got more life experience than the people who are moaning about how he’s talking.

Dave is calculated in the way he speaks and articulates himself, in his music and real life. The way he is speaking is calm don’t see what everyone is on about.

Dave relaxed so much towards the end of this interview. If you can’t deal with his cautious demeanour at the start then you don’t deserve his playful banter at the end. Interviews are a processsss

I don’t think Dave realizes how good his music is and how big the impact is he really is talented
@kailajai6098 4 years ago

He’s nervous. He’s only done a few interviews and he’s never spoken for this long. Give him a break.

He's one of those people that when he speaks, you listen.

Listen, I am not here for the US vs UK arguing. I am here to show love where it is due. The UK from the standpoint of music, acting, and art right now are on another level. I might be late to this but after watching Top Boy I have been doing my research on guys like Dave, Mansur Brown, Alfa Mist, Yussef Dayes, etc. Listen Wah-gwaan to all our Brothers in the UK and world wide. Lets show unity know matter where we live. We all come from the same tree. Africa.

Santan Dave is by far my favourite artist coming out the UK . Possibly the rapper out considering his age. Boy really can rap ! He defo can hang bar for bar with any top lyricist coming out of The States ...

He just finished his Psychodrama tour... Not everyone has the same level of energy outside the music. "Mans tired fam, jesus christ"
