Dave B

Although Seattle isn&#8217;t commonly thought of as a hub for hip-hop, it&#8217;s got a pretty great scene of its own, with lots of underground artists making noise in the Northwest. You&#8217;ve got guys like Ugly Frank and <a href="/profile/nachopicasso" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Nacho Picasso</a> who make dark, foreboding jams, Shabazz Palaces making futuristic space funk, and producers like Jake One and <a href="/profile/blueskyblackdeath" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Blue Sky Black Death</a> soundtracking all of it. Today, we&#8217;re introducing you to Dave B, another one of the city&#8217;s most promising talents. 
Linking up with Jake One on the jazzy &#8220;Leaves,&#8221; Dave showcases an almost <a href="/profile/chance_the_rapper" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Chance The Rapper</a>-esque delivery, singing and rapping with ease and dropping thought-provoking bars.
Quotable Lyrics
Pursue a proper passion Push the margin past, put the world up on your back, boy They know you&#8217;s a guy for being black, or a student Or gay, or just caught up in the trap
