Dave East and Shaggy have teamed up to release a brand-new track called “Dangerous Riddim,” which you can check out below.
The track, which officially dropped on Wednesday (May 22), sees the two artists trade bars with a Caribbean flavor. The video, however, is a lyrics video, and it’s unclear when an official video for the track will be released.

“Stick wit’God, he undefeated/ a bunch of stars in different cars/ a hundred broads that I could sleep with/ ain’t no stoppin’ us,” East raps. “But I ain’t got no time to politic/ dem cyaan hold we!”

Earlier this month, Dave East put his spin on a classic 2Pac song on his new Stacy Barthe-assisted track “So Much Changed.”
The Harlem native travels West on the new cut, sampling the late rapper’s “Pain,” a standout from the 1994 Above the Rim soundtrack.

East taps into the same sample as ‘Pac while shouting out the departed legend by mirroring some of his bars.
“They’ll never take me alive/ From where the skinny n-ggas slide/ Songs with Mary J. Blige/ Seen ’em die over they pride,” he spits.

On the original, ‘Pac rapped: “They’ll never take me alive, I’m gettin’ high with my four-five/ Cocked on these suckas, time to die.”
The accompanying video, directed by Watch the Screen, also includes several homages to the All Eyez On Me MC, including Dave rocking a bandana and sepia-laced shots that evoke classic ‘Pac clips like “So Many Tears.”

“So Much Changed” serves as the first single from Dave East’s newly-announced joint album with producers Mike & Keys titled APT 6E
The West Coast production duo are best known for their work with the late, great Nipsey Hussle, and also previously contributed to East’s 2023 album Fortune Favors the Bold.
That may not be the only new release on the horizon from the 35-year-old.
Snoop Dogg revealed earlier this year that he has a whole unreleased album with Dave East but it was shelved due to label politics.

The revelation came during a conversation with Benny The Butcher on Snoop’s YouTube series GGN back in January.
