OneTakeDave

West Philadelphia rapper OneTakeDave mixes hip-hop over jazz and soul influenced beats. Born in the midst of hip-hop culture with DJ Disco Dave of Philadelphia’s Mighty B-Force crew for a father, he was exposed to classic soul and funk music early in life. He would later go on to combine those styles with his own influences from philly’s battle rap culture and artists, Mos Def and Ice Cube. Taking all of those influences in he began his career as a rap artist.

Dave began to record himself extensively at Sound Gallery Studios, working with new artists and producer, Army Zenn. While honing his skill in the booth, OneTakeDave released a series of mixtapes titled Take One and Take Two before forming his label "OnTheDaily". Following those releases he moved to New York and began working out of Shifted Recordings in Brooklyn, NY. Since then he has released his EP "Shangri-La" in September 2017, and is gearing up to release his next project "Inhale" at the top of the year.
