Tapped In

Dave East

<p>Cruch Calhoun and <a href="/profile/daveeast" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Dave East</a> just returned with a new track &#8220;Tapped In&#8221; featuring Dre Mac. While all of <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/341674-dave-east-and-harry-fraud-grind-through-hoffa-ft-french-montana-g-herbo-benny-the-butcher-jim-jones-new-mixtape" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">these rappers</a> hail from the West Coast, the instrumental on here throws it back to California classics. Moreover, this mix of energy makes for a track that is as smooth as it is biting.</p>

<p>Furthermore, the song&#8217;s instrumental samples <a href="/profile/DoctorDre" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Dr. Dre</a>&#8217;s iconic &#8220;F**k Wit Dre Day (And Everybody&#8217;s Celebratin&#8217;).&#8221; However, the soaring G-funk synths contrast well with some additional sharp drums featured on this new single. Though East and Calhoun are <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/340827-dave-east-and-harry-fraud-link-with-benny-the-butcher-on-uncle-ric-new-song" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">frequent collaborators</a>, they had some special things to say about this track in particular.</p>



<p>“Dave and I are &#8216;Tapped In&#8217; again and staying in tune,” Cruch expressed.  “With &#8216;Tapped In&#8217; I wanted to create a track where we could put our East Coast vibes on a West Coast classic.” Moreover, his next album <em>Soul&#8217;d Out</em> will drop on February 17th this year.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/451445-dave-east-dj-drama-show-out-on-gangsta-grillz-album-book-of-david" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> East Harlem MC</a> spoke fondly of his working relationship with Calhoun. “I always love working with Cruch,&#8221; he stated. &#8220;&#8216;Tapped In&#8217; is the perfect blend of East Coast and West Coast music; and mixed with Kamillion’s production, perfectly blends the two sounds.” </p>



<p>However, the consistent nods to Harlem on this track are unsurprising. Dave East recently contributed to <em>Godfather of Harlem</em>&#8216;s soundtrack with his song <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/624187-dave-east-puts-on-for-harlem-on-damn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&#8220;DAMN.&#8221;</a> Also, he even interpolated some classic Biggie lyrics to shout out the rest of New York.</p>
