Dave 'Hangman' Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified

South London rapper Dave was already buzzing in the UK when Drake hopped on the remix of his 2016 song “Wanna Know,” but the collaboration took his career to the next level. A year later, the teenage rapper reached No. 13 on the UK Official Albums chart with his ‘Game Over’ EP. In anticipation of Dave’s forthcoming debut album, he released the single “Hangman” in February, peaking at No. 30 in the UK Official Singles Chart Top 100 with over 6.5 million YouTube views. The song addresses his controversial tweets about the murder of model Harry Uzoka.

I thought the Poet and Chuckie bar was a send but seems to be from a place of respect

This guy has had a more mature head on his shoulders ever since he came in the game as a 16 year old. And he actually raps what he lives. Amazing talent and great guy. He's seen alot

[spire]

dave's a future GOAT . the next kendrick level rapper

[sleventysixty]

Dave is one of the best out there right now, internationally, it's not just a UK ting... bar wise he's a top 5, Americas so called 'hip hop' scene is heading in a weird direction so artists like dave won't get they coverage they deserve. I'm just glad we got somebody out here speaking some real sense

[tomgray]

Out of every UK artist. I think Dave has the most potential to become a global artist.
