What the Music Industry is saying about Dave Raps:
Dirty Friendz.com says:
"80′s babies gonna love this. Dave Raps take us back, as in Back To The Future with his cleverly titled track ‘The Delorean’. Taking us on a ride to the future and back again with a flow that rides the beat perfectly. This is the first track from his upcoming project H.Y.P.E. Stay posted for more from him soon."
Left Over Cake.com says:
"The latest track from Dave Raps, nostalgically titled “The DeLorean”. This is the first track off of Dave’s up and coming project H.Y.P.E. which drops 2/11/11 at daveraps.net. More fire. This guy is making rounds on the net and soon enough he’ll be making rounds on your favorite radio station. Give it some more time and I bet he’ll be flying off of store shelves everywhere."
Splash Joy.com says:
"I am becoming more and more glad I opened up the original email I got from this homie’s management way back when. He has provided me with nothin but JOY in my ipod ever since. I absolutely love the artwork for this upcoming project too. Be on the look out for H.Y.P.E. EP dropping on Friday, here we go with the opening track"
Dope Native Boy.com says:
"Dave Raps? He does Rap. Taking from the theme of Back To The Future Dave going in on a up tempo beat and kills it."
Tufts Roundtable Commons says:
"So i really like the backbeat to this, which is interesting, because it is kinda repetitive and we know i hate that shit. this is the first track off dave raps’ newest project H.Y.P.E. (dropping february 11). he spits pretty damn well, not gonna lie, and he’s got a little more bite than most rappers who kinda just flow more smoothly. both styles are fine, but i feel like we haven’t been posting enough edginess. he’s also managed by vee nyce, who’s
really quite chill.”
Rock The Dub.com says:
"To build-up for H.Y.P.E., an EP of originals that Dave will be released this Friday on daveraps.net, he drops this Back To The Future-minded track. I imagine the thought is “bringing it back with style”, but there’s nothing in this that screams “vintage”. No Michael Cole. Shit’s fly regardless, because Dave beeeeen in the future. Should’ve left that sangin’ in the hook in the past… or is that the future? His past, our future. Days of Dave’s Future Past. No? Nevermind."
Generation Vision.com says:
"Ok real talk, this goes hard. It’s the newest offering from Dave Raps that will appear on his upcoming H.Y.P.E. project coming Feb. 11, which will feature all brand new music."
