Listen To "DANGEROUS RIDDIM" By Dave East, Mike & Keys, & Shaggy
That track was more pure-bred East Coast hip-hop, whereas "DANGEROUS RIDDIM" is a blend of rap and reggae. Instrumentally, it is very colorful and grand with its horns and drums. Shaggy, the guest feature this time around, brings it with speedy flows and bellowing vocals. Dave raps about going down the wrong path in life and how it can lead to a world of issues. It is both a stunning but dark track and sure to be a hit on the album when it drops.

Quotable Lyrics:
Watch how sick they get, you park a Lambo or the Wraith come out
I walk through the trenches, sat on benches, all my chains was out (All my chains)
Drugs and money, just be careful, know that that's a dangerous route (Danger)
A lot of us won't make it out
They watch your every move, learn how to fake 'em out (Fake 'em out)
Got n**** doin' life, ain't get to live, wish I could break 'em out
