Santan Dave Teaches How To Write Rap Lyrics In 5 Steps

"I just remember writing that verse for 'Location,' the first verse, and thinking I'm going to write this from a girl's point of view. If I were a girl, what is the verse I would want to hear this summer? I wanted girls to be able to get behind it and feel like, that's them." - Dave on Genius In this clip from one of his appearances on Genius, Dave alludes to one component of the secret sauce that has made him one of the most lyrically inventive artists in modern times. That is… -------------- Freestyle Fortnight Course - Master The Art of Freestyle Rap: https://htr.freestylefortnight.com/da... -------------- TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Introduction 0:26 #1 Broadening Your Scope 3:06 #2 Make Your Rhymes Multi-Faceted 5:17 Freestyle Fortnight Course 5:57 #3 Treat Rapping as Your Responsibility 8:38 #4 Don’t Fear Divisiveness 10:18 #5 Be A Storyteller -------------- Since he exploded out of the streets of Streatham at 16 years old, Dave—otherwise known as Santan Dave—has risen from a prodigiously talented MC within a still largely marginalized UK rap scene to the point where he, alongside Little Simz and Central Cee, are beginning to garner the plaudits of stateside audiences. In fact, when Cench and Dave combined forces for the Split Decision EP, they landed in the top ten of the Billboard Global Hot 100 while naturally taking the top spot in their native land. Capable of both acerbic political commentary and witty bars that'll leave you mesmerized by the sheer quantity of wordplay that he's fit within the space of one verse, Dave is as adept at uplifting audiences as he is quick off the mark with masterful putdowns. "My house party, a babe station, girls wanna chase, it's a status thing. 'Chase and Status' like, Chase and Status, the music producers, as well as chasing status as in caring about attention and fame and all that stuff. Girls wanna chase status, guys wanna chase status, it’s just what people do."-- Dave on Genius In this excerpt from his second appearance on Genius, Dave outlined something which is a recurring trend throughout his work: that different interpretations can coexist alongside one another. Ensuring that whether you wish to take things at face value or scratch beneath the surface of what he's saying, it'll still be pleasing to the ear and the mind either way. “I was originally listening to Kendrick Lamar, there was a song, 'Blood', it’s not even a song, it’s just the intro. I wrote it to the instrumental for 'Blood'. I think there was coming a time when it was important to say something on the album, to say something that was bigger than me… A lot of the album is about me but it was just about making something extrinsic, speaking for everyone”- Dave on Rap Radar A man who isn’t afraid to stand on the shoulders of giants, Dave treats his craft with such seriousness and sincerity that he feels the need to throw himself into everything he makes. “Negative comments about what you do are good because they show that you are an individual. The moment you are an individual and, like, existing, you have an identity, not everyone can resonate with that. I saw a lot of negative comments like y’know what yeah, there’s a lot of good songs and he’s telling a story but I don’t think I’ll listen to it very often 'cos it’s heavy, and that was fine for me. Like, my identity as a rapper, as who I am, is exactly what they’re describing”– Dave and Ed Sheeran for Rock Against Racism Although Dave may be able to skyrocket to the top of the UK charts today, he never set out to be everyone’s cup of tea, nor has he sterilized his music to make himself a seamless fit into the marketplace. "I wanted to have a narrative. If you listen to the album as 11 separate tracks and you listen to the album as a whole, it’s two completely different things. The tracks are meant to be aware of each other, y’know, track 4 leads onto track 5… They’re meant to live in the same world and get each other. I reference songs in other songs. I wanted a concept and a narrative but something that could, on its own, have some kind of commercial success"– Dave on Rap Radar While discussing his acclaimed debut album with B Dot and Elliott Wilson on Rap Radar, Dave got to the heart of what has made him a success in both long and short form as for him, what he does is an extension of that old tradition which dates back to hip-hops formative years.  While other isolated tracks from concept records may stumble when taken out of context, Dave produces every track as though it is an episode and while there are benefits to taking the entire journey, they can also be enjoyed in a contained fashion. In essence, while Dave’s tracks can and often do have a broader conceptual framework, what his approach teaches us is that even when you’re looking to be high minded in your work, the tracks should be enjoyable in standalone fashion too.
