We didn’t have to wait too long for another Dave East project.
Just months after he released Paranoia: A Love Story, the Harlem rapper returned with a 16-track mixtape called Karma. The tape is hosted by DJ Holiday and features appearances by Offset, Lil Durk, Don Q, and Chris Brown, as well as production by Mally Raw, 808 Mafia, and Black Metaphor.
You can listen to Karma below.
Ever since East signed with Def Jam in 2016, fans have been holding their collective breath for his "official" debut album. Though Paranoia consisted of 13 tracks, East referred to the project as an EP. He also said it was an "appetizer" for his highly anticipated album, as it will include more stories about his life pre-stardom.
"Like for what I was going through, there were a lot of stories that I didn't really touch on, like super-detailed and specific moments that I haven't really spoke about on records," he told Billboard. "That's more than anything that and I still want to run around a little more. I still ain't tour yet. There's a lot of things that I still want to do before I say, ‘Alright. Here's my album.’"
