Dave Releases His Highly Anticipated Drill Inspired Song 'Paper Cuts'

Having had an amazing year in music with the success of his debut album, several other banging singles as well as a standout role in one of the nation's favourite shows - Dave meets fans demands and gives us 'that' drill tune.

A clip of the South London rapper flowing over a drill beat surfaced earlier this year, the change of lane excited listeners across social media and led the clip to go viral. As the video done its rounds, many became eager to hear the full track.

With no prior warning, promotion or video, Santan decided to give everyone what they wanted and released "Paper Cuts". The cover art features The Psychodrama rapper among friends and family in a collage of pictures, pieced together as though real paper - well in line with the title. With a calculated hard-hitting flow, Dave spits over a beat produced by Ghosty and Kyle Evans, again referencing the song title on the hook.
