Praised for his lyricism and raw storytelling, Dave East is one of the most promising rappers on the scene today. Born and raised in Harlem, he was inspired by older generation East Coast rappers ranging from Notorious B.I.G. to Styles P, Jadakiss, Cam’ron, and Big Pun. After a college basketball stint, Dave’s attention turned full time to music. Starting in 2010, an array of highly praised mixtapes earned him widespread recognition in the hip-hop community. His seventh mixtape, 2014’s Black Rose caught Nas by surprise, resulting in Dave’s signing to Mass Appeal.
In 2020, Dave released the Karma 3 mixtape and celebrated the tenth anniversary of Change Of Plans (2010), the mixtape that started it all.

In the summer of 2016, Daniel Muñoz decided to send a voice message of himself singing a few bars as a joke on a walkie talkie app with a group of friends. To his surprise, they loved it.

In 2017, he met one of his managers by bumping into them at Walmart. They spent the next year building their professional relationship which resulted in Muñoz being signed to Triangle Offense/Epic Records in April 2018.
