We present the latest installment of Songs of the Week featuring new tracks from Harlem rapper Dave East, D.C. representative Wale and Compton rhymer YG.
Dave East stopped by The Boombox office to discuss his stomping grounds, his 'Hate Me Now' mixtape, resurrecting the Notorious B.I.G. and the near-death experience that changed his life.
Harlem's very own Dave East is following in Nas' footsteps with the release of his new mixtape, 'Hate Me Now' -- the title of a song Nas dropped in 1999. Dave's first offering of the new tape is "Demons," a gritty banger produced by Sean C and LV.
In this edition of Songs of the Week, Dave East disses Coachella, Ciara teams up with T.I. and Large Pro reminds listeners he's as solid as he's ever been.
2015 looks to be even more fruitful, as a number of acts spent last year putting in major work in the studio and on the road and are now positioned to become household names. These guys, and some ladies too, have consistently been making noise. The Boombox is proud to present 10 Rappers You Need to Pay Attention to in 2015.
