The Modern Life x Dave Raps Interview

Check Out The Interview Its Finally Here.

I Caught With The Homie Dave Raps, Check The Interview.

When I say I'm surprised when I get emails that contain magnificent talent inside, I'm really surprised. This all started all around last summer when I came across this mind blowing email that involved my blog which I started a month or two ago at the time and I already had people interested in it. The first was this young but talented artist named Dave Raps , That released a impressive project, "Yes I Do, and I been highly interested in doing business with the guy ever since. His current EP , "H.Y.P.E" has to be one of the most slept on projects out now, in his verses he gives strong punchlines, cultivating metaphors, and trendy hooks to make up complete songs with splendid production. Enough of the talking and bragging on this guy, it's time to meet Em now, here is Dave Raps.

TML : Well what's up man, how's life been my man?

Dave Raps : Life's been GREAT! I've been enjoying what i can , and enduring what i must. Got a good feeling about everything though.. ;)

Nice, thats cool to hear, it's a wonderful honor that you agreed to be featured with us.

 You already know mayne, thanks for supporting.

So How and When Did You Know This Business was your calling in life and why?

 Really, it's just sort of how everything fell into place. I'm still learning about this Business/Industry everyday. What I do know is, I want to impact this Business like no artist ever has. So I guess you can say that's whats fueling my chase.. Not being a part of the Business, being on top of mine!

How did you fall in love with hip hop?

 I fell in love with MUSIC!!! .. and it pretty much happened just like everyone else. I actually didn't start rapping until I graduated high school. But I was always a student of the game. I grew up in Yonkers listening to reggae.

What's behind the name of Dave raps?

DAVE RAPS .. its not much behind the name. It's something me and my producer S/O Vee, came up with. Just wanted a name that can give a gist of what to expect.. I liked Dave Raps. :-) , yall fellin' it??

Name Five Songs That Inspired You The Most in Life and Why.

Roses by Ye, juicy, dear summer, changes by pac, and sizzla give me a try...dont ask why for that last one...u just gotta balance shit out sometimes...haha

Since you're both from New York and Florida, Does That Give You a Edge in any way and if so, why?

 Oh yea , I'm experiencing the different ways people live and interact. This gives me a lot to talk about. I got a feel of how the East Coast communicates from Florida to New York. And i can generate that into my raps, metaphors, and punchlines. Figga deal me.. (little paid in full talk) haha

Recently You Just had a productive year, with the releases of Too Unknown presented by Ashley Outrageous and H.Y.P.E., explain how you felt throughout those days.

AH MAN S/O to Ashley Outrageous, But the releases of the mixtape Too Unknown , and my EP H.Y.P.E (How Young People Evolve) felt ridiculous! You know, you sit and generate and create all this music. When you finally get a chance to release your project, then hear and see all the feedback, it's truley rewarding.. No resting though, we working out cheaa. lol

Now At Your at a stage that seemed unimaginable a few years ago, specifically how did you come with the unique acronym of HYPE and what was your main reason to actually name this project under that name.

 I wanted a title that explained my growth, not just as a rapper, but as a man as well. It just popped into my head.. sounded dope, so I went with it. DOWNLOAD H.Y.P.E http://www.daveraps.com/ << my plug lol

Name the songs you liked the most and why.

My personal favorite has to be "best worst day ever" first reason has to be because the beat is on some old school Shaft shit..lolol..and thats the last track i recorded for HYPE. Let em all know is another joint i was feelin just because its on that cool inspirational tip..and you have to love songs like that

Since With that being said, what are some things we can look into in the near future?

I'm going to be out in CINCY,OH again on July 23rd, The people out there show love!! S/O to Cincinnati,OH man.. I just opened up for Chip tha Ripper on May 13th, and the showw was insane! So ya'll could look forward to that, I sure am.. oh yea that and another mixtape.. we'll see what happens. :-)

Finally before you leave, name your overall mission/purpose in this business and how do you want to be Remembered?

GREATNESS.. ..respected as a top artist and one of the best to ever do this.

Well thanks for your time, just Remember living out your dreams, living the modern life.
