ABOUT DAVE EAST

When it comes to East Coast hip-hop, Dave East is as true as they come. Inspired by MCs like Styles P, Jadakiss, Cam'ron, Notorious B.I.G., and Big Pun, he had an ear for the East Coast voices that laid the foundation not only for the culture of hip-hop, but for the city that raised him. After releasing a few projects of his own and gaining recognition around the city, Dave teamed up with hip-hop legend Nas and his label Mass Appeal  to put out his lauded mixtape Kairi Chanel in 2016. With the success of the mixtape, Dave inked a deal with Def Jam at the end of 2016 and is gearing up for his debut in 2017.

Born to embrace hip-hop, Biz is originally from Harlem but later moved to Long Island where he gained notoriety by his early teen years for beat boxing and rhyming. Biz Markie shows no signs of stopping - "Just a Friend" made VH1's list of 100 greatest hip-hop songs of all time.
