As Nas labeled as the next best thing, Dave East is striving to become a staple within New York’s new school of hip hop — and this is only the beginning.
“Black Rose was really personal to me, it made people pay attention but it was a certain moment in my life. Hate me nowis a celebration for what’s to come, a celebration for where I aspire to go with my career & the things I’ve gone through to get here. It’s definitely a transitional piece in my journey. Hate me now while you can.” — Dave East
