Dave East returns with new "Karma 2" visuals.

When we look back at the year in a few months, there's an argument that needs to be made about how Dave East has been one of the most hard-working and consistent rappers in 2018. The rapper dished out three dope projects within the past year including Karma 2, Paranoia 2 and his collaborative project with Styles P, Beloved. Despite the release of the new project with P, he's still been pushing the solo projects he dropped within the year. Today, he hits us with a new visual off of his latest solo mixtape, Karma 2.

Dave East is back with a new video for the Karma 2 stand-out track, "I Found A Way." The rapper's new visuals were directed by Joe Puma and follow the trials and tribulations that East faced in the years leading up to his success. Puma highlights the hardships that Dave East dealt with and the benefits that he's reaping from his years of grinding.

The release of the "I Found A Way" video comes a month and a half after he dropped the cinematic visuals for "I Don't Understand It." Since then, he's also shared visuals for the "Yes Indeed (EastMix)" and "We Got Everything" off of Beloved.
