South London rapper, Dave, also known as Santan Dave, recently emerged out of the UK’s underground rap scene and has become one of the most talked about artists in what is a rapidly growing branch of UK music.

His Six Paths EP, co-produced by 169 and Grammy Award winning producer Fraser T Smith (who’s worked with the likes of Adele), reached No 6 in the official iTunes album chart and No 1 in the Hip-Hop chart. The 18 year old has also performed live at the BBC’s Maida Vale Studios and joined Charlie Sloth on BBC Radio 1Xtra for a Fire In The Booth session, which received over 1 million YouTube views. Following the success of his debut EP, Dave released the visuals for his track Wanna Know which was picked up by award winning Canadian rapper Drake, who featured on the remix and premiered the track on his OVO Sound Radio show on Apple Music. To finish up a busy 2016, Dave is now set to take to the stage for his debut headline show at Camden Assembly on December 6.
