Congratulations to the Harlem Rapper, Dave East releasing his debut album Kairi Chanel today after announcing his partnership with Def Jam Records.
During his interview with The Breakfast Club, Angela Yee asked if he is signed to Def Jam. Although nonchalant about the matter, East states he’s very excited about his joint venture. Being with Mass Appeal for 2 years and working with Nas, who helped introduce the world to East, this is a step forward.
In the interview, Dave East explains why signing with a major label is important for the next steps of his career:
“It’s at a time now where I really need a machine, not going to say need, but it helps. A machine really helps what I’m trying to do, especially being from New York and not trying to stay in New York. Like I’ve told y’all before, I’m not trying to be underground or classified as a certain type of dude. So, I feel like this was a good move for what I’m trying to do with my brand, my movement across the world.”
Once again, congratulations to Dave East and stream the project below:
Also just announced, Dave East Kairi Chanel album release concert is happening October 18 at the Highline Ballroom.
