UK rap titan Dave, also known as Santan Dave, has released the highly anticipated music video for his track CHAPTER 16, a powerful collaboration featuring legendary grime artiste and actor Kano. The track is a standout from Dave's latest critically acclaimed album, THE BOY WHO PLAYED THE HARP, which debuted at number one on the UK album charts last month.

The music video's release follows a social media announcement from Dave, describing the collaboration as "a conversation between myself and one of the greatest of musicians/actors our country’s ever produced, and a true full circle moment." 

This sentiment encapsulates the track's core, which is structured as a dialogue between the two artistes, representing a profound passing of the torch and a generational exchange within the UK rap landscape.

The song itself delves into introspective themes, moving seamlessly between discussions on the pressures of the music industry, the impact of fame on personal life, and even touching on relationship and family advice. 

CHAPTER 16 is not merely a fan favourite but has also achieved commercial success, charting high on both the Official Singles Chart and the Official Hip Hop and R&B Singles Chart.

The album, THE BOY WHO PLAYED THE HARP, has been praised by critics for its emotional depth, vulnerability and sophisticated storytelling, solidifying Dave's position as one of the UK's most skilled rappers. 

The new visual treatment for the track is expected to drive further momentum, celebrating a momentous collaboration that bridges two distinct eras of British urban music.
