UK Rap Star Dave Releases Weighty, Serious New Album The Boy Who Played The Harp Feat. James Blake, Tems, Jim Legxacy, More

The London rapper Dave might be the single biggest star in the entire UK rap universe.

Today, Dave releases The Boy Who Played The Harp, his third solo album. No bangers on this one.
