Today, GRAMMY® Award-nominated gold-selling Harlem rap phenomenon, model, actor, and storyteller Dave East returns with an infectious new single and music video entitled “Rich Problems” out now via Def Jam Recordings. Listen HERE and watch the music video HERE at 12pm EST.
The track entangles bright piano with orchestral samples, building a bold backdrop. Over this soundscape, Dave ponders the duality of success, the game, and life itself. He confesses, “Think I’m always in a good mood, you see me smiling, little devil on my shoulder and he wildin’,” before lamenting “Bank account great, my homies dying.” Amidst this lyrical push-and-pull, he lives up to the prescient promise, “Fuck ‘viral’, this flow a virus.” The accompanying visual finds him in Abu Dhabi. He pulls up in a baby blue McClaren and raps his truth to the camera in between sweeping vistas of the city’s beauty surrounding him.
It serves as an epic opening statement for his next chapter as he preps more music for release very soon.
Stay tuned for more from Dave East now!
