Dave Raises The Bar Yet Again With "Hangman"

Dave Raises The Bar Yet Again With "Hangman"


February 28, 2018

We've known it for a while now but Dave is on his way to greatness. Never afraid to tackle real life issues, whether it's about love ("How I Met My Ex") or politics ("Question Time"), there is a sincerity to Dave which translates in his music and his first offering of 2018, "Hangman", is no different. Captured by long-time collaborator Director LX, as well as Jeaniq, and produced by the talented Nana Rogues, "Hangman" addresses the rapper's comments about stop and searches and knife crime which saw him receive backlash on social media, while also reflecting on the perils of fame in the process, all packaged with his trademark wordplay which marks him out as arguably one of the best lyricists in the country. 

At just 19 years old and getting better with every release, the possibilities are endless when it comes to what Santan Dave can achieve. Don't believe us? Watch the video and see for yourself.
