Now one of the most valued lyricist on the Dirty Records roster, it was early on in his days as a rapper that now-labelmate P-Money was quick to spot the prodigious talents of the new kid comin’ up – recognition that led to Dave’s searing verse on Not Many – The Remix, and promptly kicking off his career. The song heralded the arrival of an untapped rap talent that New Zealand hip hop scene was quick to make room for – Dallas is now armed and ready to take on Australia with a solo debut album that’s soon to be released. Simply and accurately titled Something Awesome, it’s set to have other artists within the scene reassess their own rap blueprints.
