The Day Of - Dave East

"I had literally no connections to no radio station, no blog site, nothing," recalls Dave East of his rise through the rap game. "I was in the projects in my back room with the homies, finding beats on Youtube. We had a mic. The spit-guard was a durag or a sock. I had to tell the whole room 'Be quiet, I'm about to record!' I come from that."

Of course the Harlem rapper has come a long way since then. After getting down with Mass Appeal Records and then landing a major label deal with Def Jam, Dave East has become one of the most respected new rappers representing NYC.
