20-year-old London rapper Dave not only releases his debut album Psychodrama, but also one of the UK's most anticipated releases this year. The Guardian praises Psychodrama as the "boldest and best British rap album of its generation". The SPEX makes it the album of the week and calls Dave "the voice of a better generation".

Parallel to the album release, Streatham got released – his second video full of nostalgia, which simultaneously represents a social reality check. The song is both a loving homage to the neighborhood where Dave grew up, as well as an unwavering snapshot of his youth in London. Streatham follows the first video single Black, a celebrated, profound exploration of black identity, excellence and the diaspora. The video features an all-star cast of young black icons, including rapper Stormzy and Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling.

Recorded in just over a year, Psychodrama is a complex and notable collection of 11 tracks. The few guests include J Hus and Burna Boy. At the tender age of 18, Dave won the MOBO Award for Best Newcomer, the youngest artist to dust off a nomination at the Brit Awards. Drake remixed his song Wanna Know. Then in November Dave made his first number one in England with Funky Friday and with it the breakthrough. With Funky Friday he also managed the feat of being next to Drake the only artist in the UK, which debuted last year with a song from zero to number one on the UK singles charts.

As the youngest artist ever, Dave won the Ivor Novello Award. His politically charged song Question Time, a seven-minute critique of the system and Theresa May's policy, was awarded the best contemporary song. Taken together, his songs already count over 600 million streams. Meanwhile, Dave is not only a remarkably gifted storyteller, but also one of the most important and necessary British artists in years. His debut album Psychodrama appears on Neighborhood/Caroline International and is now available everywhere. On the 18th of October the fans can see Dave live in the Lido.
