Dave's brother is serving life in prison and is going through therapy to get through it. That's the concept of the album.
xxxtensioncord what for
Jordan Stewart Murdee
@@jordanstewart6012 Someone was murdered and he was part of the group at the scene of the crime who killed the guy. Don't think he actually did it from what I've heard, but I think because he was part of the group that committed it, he went down.
Jordan Stewart he was apparently involved in a murder in 2011, but in Dave's black box freestyle he claims his brother was set up or back stabbed
wow mad emotional final track... his brother reciting the bible passage and talking about the first time he heard Dave on the radio from prison was 🔥 blown away by this album
Dave is totally overlooked by most outside of the UK. His storytelling and wordplay are elite and im so glad he’s slowly getting the exposure over seas. 🇬🇧🔥
cam wade Sooo true man, I even think that in the U.K his talent is overlooked by the all the pop rap
Jake Round stop stretching it literally everyone knows Dave
I'm from Germany and I thought only americans like Kendrick could drop such gems, but guess I gotta do my homework and gotta check the UK scene, thought it was all just drill/grime but this shit hits deep. Especially how he manages to create a huge impact with just so few words per line, as if they are so carefully curated.
Any other recommendations similiar to Dave?
@@SquatsAndOats2plate lowkey. His wordplay and metaphors are brilliant.
SquatsAndOats2plate Lowkey, Wretch 32 (his first fire in the booth is incredible), Devlin, Akala, Cadet and Rapman are top conscious UK lyricists/story tellers.
RIP Cadet
Where my UK goons at 🇬🇧
Edit: Location, Streatham & Disaster were bangers but we let that slide
oh yeah yeah
gang / AOTY right here big up Santan
👍
What's onnnn
Skinny Legend Narsayeeeeeee
J Hus is currently in prison for knife possession, this feature was insanely hyped over here because it came out of nowhere.
He in jail for.. having a knife?
xxxtensioncord not sure out of nowhere, i think majority expected J Hus on this after samantha, but i was surprised that this lacked a Fredo feature
@@itamarrevah2260 yes. completely normal in UK to be arrested for carrying weapons.
@@itamarrevah2260 He was stabbed twice so he felt paranoid and started carrying a knife on him for self defence. But he was caught with it and sent down. Knife crime particularly this year has been a massive issue particularly in London as more people outside of gangs are being murdered so his sentence was also probably serving as a message also
FREE J HUS
I clicked on this so fast coz I’m from the UK. Big up Shawn for his international music taste 😂😂😂
KM 24s same here
Saaaaameeeee
Same man
Same
bare international music taste innit
don't ever place dave and shaq in the same sentence again i beg
@marvinxi15 ur joking right?
U just did
@@mystic1939 big shaq is my favorite anime character
MISTAJAM I am from the US tried to show my friends this and they said man why you listening to big shaq... pfft they don’t understand Dave is heat
Soon as I heard that I had to turn it off. I can't take him seriously anymore
Dave plays piano. Which is why you hear a lot of keys in his production.
Check out the BBC Radio 1 session with him and JoeyBadass
Or panic attack live performance
@@seaneboss8913 I read he plays to grade 7 level, this 🔥🔥🔥 th-cam.com/video/hBxueJxybE0/w-d-xo.html
@@maxgiles9939 Yeah That's firee too
Cool profile pic it’s the Joey Bada$$ ALL AMERIKKKAN BADASS album cover in pink ennit?
Location is such a banger in the UK but I’d understand why he wouldn’t like it being that vibe not being that big in USA
Surely! Thats actually one of the most popular songs along with Disaster. Its more our style I guess
F C My 2 favourites. I love listening to the full album, but location, disaster and voices are the ones I’ve added to my playlist, because they sound the best as stand alone songs.
he just doesnt like anyone’s dancehall/afrobeat cuts, which is fair
ramriddlz set off a wave in the US/Canada that drake blew up so there is a crowd for location on this side, just not as big as the uk
Not a huge fan of that song or purple heart but otherwise this album is great. He’s got some real talent and I’m glad all you guys in the UK blew up the comment section about him.
because afrobeats isn’t as prominent in the us
I don't think you understand afrobeats, songs like Location, Disaster and Voices bang over here in the UK
Its not about understanding afrobeats, I just don't think they are good songs lmao
@@ShawnCee great review, btw the last song had a phone recording from uis brother who is doing life in prison
@@ShawnCee the bible verse was basically referring to him being the chosen one
@@ShawnCee and loool ot was just funny how you said the beat sounded like it was made by skrillex🤦🏾♂️😂when it's more of a afro fusion type beat
@@ShawnCee yeah aight
shawn cee? reacting to uk shit? i love you for this !
He has been reacting to 21 Savage for time
Khal Drogo LOL
His first TH-cam vid is Skepta‘s Konnichiwa
"Next track is umm.. straythem?" UK is going mad right now lmao
Frosty XBL 🤬🤬🤬
Yea that one got me heated but i get it...cos us man over here be saying Ar-kansas not Arken-saw

@@illuzion72 imagine pretending to be from the UK for a yt comment lol
@@ayyzee84 yea must be dead...how bout u lowe it then and stop acting yea

10:42 Aint no UK rapper featuring to get paid. They all so tight like dave, j hus, notes, aj, fredo will be on a song together for passion not just ps
William Pitman they do get paid some p tho
@@emg2695 yeah but they don't do what american rappers do and charge 20k-30k for a 30 second feature

hahahhaah Shawn isn’t 100% british yet though chill
Imagine tryna tell someone he can’t make an eleven minute song about a relative who was put in a coma by an abusive man lol shut up
thank you
B M allow him he didnt know
B M he was going by what he was listening to he dont know the background info
B M plus he didnt say he couldnt make an 11 minute song he said he didnt think it was neccasary
bro hes reviewing music. you can talk about the deepest shit but if the song sucks it sucks. this song doesn’t suck but calm down yh?
I disagree with your rating Shawn, I think this is Dave's best work. But love seeing what your opinion is on music, especially when you branch out to the UK scene. 8.5/10 lowest.
Yep, I think it's somewhat because he isn't into the UK scene that much (at least for a couple of the songs) and the amount of references that he will have missed because he's not from the UK will likely take away from it but either way, it's really great to see Dave's popularity growing internationally and it's interesting to see what he thinks about it from a different perspective.
Man said "i'm never telling a girl you're a gem, not like the sign" which shows he didn't understand the bar: girl you're a gem-n-i ain't even talking bout star signs
Completely diff that way lol No ratings for his ratings
Yeah honestly think this is one of the best rap albums (lyrically speaking) of all time. So much to think about, I was really surprised how negative this review was! Felt like the angle Dave was coming from kinda went over his head at times and then it didn’t help that he wasn’t into the afrobeats
Leslie was so hard imo. serious big ups to Dave for making a track as ambitious as that about abuse.
YESS GET MELON TO REVIEW THIS THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO IT
@Ree Rah gladly 😋😋😋
16:30 he based it off a true story, so he’s not really making it as awful as possible he’s just telling the story how it is
I didn’t know I needed this, but I needed this. Dave is 💯
Shawn "I like a lot of UK artists" Cee
21 savage
Location is fire idk what he’s talking about who else thinks so
I wish you caught the word play in all his songs that would have changed your view
Because you mostly listen to us rap the lingo here is simple but Dave uses deep and really crazy word play
He literally said he’s not going to point out every piece of word play or every good bar to satisfy you. He heard the word play
Yikes M8 At 9:19 he completely misunderstands the bar. Dave says “You’re a gem and I ain’t even talking bout the star sign.” This refers to the horoscope/ zodiac sign - “Gemini”. This is a crazy bar because he reiterates it later in the song by doing the same thing with “Cancer”. This is NOT a UK exclusive bar therefore he needs to listen with more precision.
marvinxi15 Appreciated bro. Dave has songs that require us to be mire attentive. I don’t think many people will understand that.
Bro it’s a different lingo he’d have to live in the uk for timeeee if he is to get all the bars
@@choiceband1018 that's not even a good bar...
*_wait this I S psychodrama by dave_*
Damn all them dave comments finally worked
Modern problems solved by modern solutions
Thank you legless man for the UK Recognition
You should check out Octavian Shawn
J12345 please yes
He still hasn’t topped party here tho
@@wilfredjoloza7835 u musta not heard his tape LOL.. nuff bangers on there my g
yeah but bet is a tune
Wilfred Joloza his revenge tape is so tough
Finally! The quickest I’ve ever clicked a vid bc I’m from the UK
Disaster, Streatham and Screwface Capital are my favourites. The album is just cold.
that’s the most disrespectful shit ever, comparing dave to big shaq 😭😂
The voice of the “therapist” talking sporadically throughout the album is Dominic West an English actor; McNulty from The Wire
No it's not
Stop fucking lying
Tbh I feel like you're definitely underrating this album.
I feel like he does not get Dave/Psychodrama at all. This review made me kinda mad.
Just because he disagrees with you doesn’t mean he doesn’t “get it”. People are allowed to disagree with you while also being informed
@@josh9592 there were so many messages/references/lyrics that he flat out ignored which made him write off some of the songs as "not saying anything" when in reality he just missed it
Yikes M8 Yikes M8 At 9:19 he completely misunderstands the bar. Dave says “You’re a gem and I ain’t even talking bout the star sign.” This refers to the horoscope/ zodiac sign - “Gemini”. This is a crazy bar because he reiterates it later in the song by doing the same thing with “Cancer”. This is NOT a UK exclusive bar therefore he needs to listen with more precision.
Stef thank fuck thought I was the only one who was getting vexed🤣
Man I am so happy you reviewed this
I appreciate that your not just focusing on how talented Dave is, your also critical of him and I do agree with what you've said but the Lesley track I feel was almost perfect maybe discludeing the feature part at the end.
The fact that it was 11 minutes is one of the reasons I enjoy it so much I think what he was doing was pure poetry and I love how it was more about conveying all of the message than abiding by a typical marketable song. I feel its tracks like this that set Dave apart, it's almost like another genre of music you dont need to enjoy rap to like this song.
The other thing it's a real story so the fact that it's her best friend cheeting with her boyfriend isn't just make the audience feel emotional or for effect, it's what actually happened 16:20. I also think that knowing the back story and all about her makes it more emotionally gripping therefore more unsettling when the outcome is revealed.
But besides this really like how you broke down all the song and gave your GENUINE opinion
great video.
Although 6/10 is very harsh
I'd have said at least 8 this I was incredibly well constructed and lyrically i feel Dave is second to none.
you should listen to ‘game over’ ep by dave or just the tracks ‘how i met my ex’ and ‘my 19th birthday’
i would recommend going on genius and looking up lyrics for uk rappers, because a lot of americans don't understand the context, references and slang used
Im really happy you did this. And happy you understand and love the songs. Love from London
His brothers in jail doing life for murder that was his voice at the end, great review btw 👍🏾🙌🏾🇬🇧
WHERES MY LITTLE SIMZ - GREY AREA REVIEW SHAWN?!
When Loyle Carner releases his next album please REACT/REVIEW it, if it takes your fancy that is
William Coles I know Shawn would love loose ends
And Devlins albums
Agreeeed
Shawn you better review the new Little Simz album Grey Area, she’s repping the U.K. right. AOTY contender
I changed this comment so you don’t know how I got this many likes
nah his hardest was the original Iridescence thumbnail😈
idk all he did was copy and paste the head
Thank you so much shawn, putting this out to your subs is great, you should do much more UK rap album reviews, Shout out from the UK!!
I have been commenting listen to him for so long. I died when I saw this on my feed. Thank you dawg
THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS
Just a note on Location, I saw you didn't like the beat. We have a huge wave over here at the moment of a thing called "Afroswing" or "UK Afrobeat" which is basically afrobeats being made my UK artists (with a lot of collabs from African artists), most of it has beats like that, it's definitely not the sort of thing Diplo would make! The guy featured on the track, Burnaboy, is from Nigeria so I'm assuming he felt it suitable to make that song with an afrobeat style.
a few notable examples:
Skepta & Wizkid - Energy
NSG - Options
Fredo - Ay Caramba
Overall was surprised with this album.I was kind of dissapointed in the UK scene with how poor AJ Traceys album was but this was very solid.This guy has so much potential, and he's only 20.I hope he doesnt "sell out" like a lot of the promising UK artists recently.
BIG up from the UK for this one Shawn 🇬🇧 leg reveal at 500k?
I’ve been waiting for this
I’m sooooo glad you reacted to this Dave is up next to go global
Yes. finally you listened to one of my recommendations
Fam .The way I dropped everything when I saw this because I’m from the uk too🙌🏾 big up Shawn 🇬🇧
So excited to watch this. Love from the U.K
Thank you so much for reacting to this 🙏🏼 UK artists deserve more recognition
How you gonna do something as ambitious and out of the box as Lesley and you shoot it down like that🤣 man it’s fucking beautiful imo
It's a great track in the context of the album but I will pretty much never play the track stand alone
Pretty sure that’s the point, it’s a story in form of a song. He wants to share the story, doubt it’s made for people to listen to over and over.
How is lesly not your favorite song lol
Disaster**
He literally said why
dsihduiak fasfd I know lol when I commented this I looked at the description and saw that it wasn’t on the favorite tracks but once I finished the video I understood why he didn’t like it as much as I did my bad
Honestly i love leslie but because the storytelling is so clear and plain it's not really worth that many listnens
Papianity CEO it’s not amazing it’s okay like tracks like 4 your eyez only, under pressure and sing about me are 10 times better.
So happy you are doing the UK scene Shawn!
I've been waiting for the uk reaction, im so glad dave is the first. My fav artist from the UK.
I'm from the UK, did NOT expect you to review this fire album. Big ups to you Shawn. How about you listen to Little Simz's new album too!
Neisan Mo Simz a goddess!
@@lowsyawe SWEAR DOWN BRUH
Since 2013!!
3 Gs in the ring call me Alvarez 🔥🔥🔥🔥
lukeswin11 where does he say that
@@jaytc3613 in the first track, Psycho
Yes!!!! Thank you for reacting to this. He deserves success. Best In the UK
I’m so happy that you’ve reviewed this album, I’m from England and I think Dave is so fresh to hear when you’re swallowed by pop rap on our charts. His talent is amazing for his age and his maturity in his music is what appeals to me. I feel he has so much potential and can be a truly phenomenal rapper, I think for his debut album Psychodrama is a solid product.
Where is the Little Simz review?!?
I was waiting for this
Thank you so much for this Shawn. The U.K is making big moves over here, fresh vibes new talent and excellence. Even our R&B is going to dominate.
I’m so glad you decided to react to this 🇬🇧🇬🇧
In streatham you missed I don’t want to do U N I like I’m in Leicester skipping my lectures and I don’t need a ME N U like when a chef would eat at his restaurant, also Dave is the one playing the piano
Does Shawn Cee have legs?🤔
He does, you just can’t cee them
They on his Instagram. I’ll never look at him the same way
Lenny Summers What’s his IG?
Of course he doesn't. Smh.
Allen With The Picked ‘Fro can’t CEE them 😂
i love u for doing this
So glad you're reacting to this.
Lesley’s not a made up story bro...that’s some real life shit going on in his life.
Cool, that doesn't make the song better
Wasnt implying that just that, you say he intentionally "made things worse by saying he slept with her best friend" he isnt trying to make things worse, thats real life. He mentions in a later track (Voices i believe) that this message is about his family memberss, i feel like the reason this song is soo long is due to the fact he has soo much emotion and meaning behind it he feels like he has to spare every last detail
You legend for this respect from the uk
Legend for reviewing this
I’m Australian & Dave has been one of my favourite rap artist for the best part of 3-4 years now, he always brings it👌
Long time coming. Thank you for covering our scene atm ❤
Much love
Damn I have been waiting for this thank you!
I've never clicked on something so fast!!! Shawn Cee you da real MVP for listening to how we do rap in the UK
I've been waiting for this moment
Dave has a strong voice? Skepta, giggs, p money, prez t. Thats what i call a strong voice.
Honestly thought the same thing. Like when i first turned the album on I was like "cool skepta is featured on here"
Michael Cheslav thats not what he meant😂
Whenever I see a reaction video I’ll ignore It but because I love Daves new album I gave it a click. Long story short, I’m glad I did.
Hyped you're reacting to this. Best album out the UK, he deserves the recognition
glad you did his. he deserves so much more attenton from outside the UK. and ty for representing. love from the UK
I was just thinking of a way I could get Shawn to listen to Pyschodrama !! So gassed
Wow I’m so early, Hi Shawn :)
So glad to see you covering an artist from the uk, especially one of my favourite artists. I enjoyed this album as it was different to what we normally get. He’s very talented and only 20 don’t forget that. Definitely gonna be the future of uk music . Enjoyed the review
You have heard our demands and delivered, thank you Shawn!
You should check out this new artist from Canada named Drake!
New album I think it’s called very far away or something like that
who’s that
Is he good?
Ssorgs supposedly this rapper who doesn’t pay attention to his kid!
Jevon Jameswhite actually his new album called So Far Gone just dropped! Lil Wayne is on 3 new songs!!
You lucky you a snack so I ain’t mad you waited so long to put this out
Im so happy u reacted to this
whos going to him in concert for his Psychodrama Tour!
ME
gem n I ain't talkin bout the star sign. cant believe he missed it🤧
Bro you understanding and appreciation of this is so sub par. We can appreciate the beauty of american and uk shit as well without any struggle. This album is up there with some of the greats, you tripping Shawn
Yooooo big up Shawn for stepping up UK scene love this 🔥
I PRAYED FOR THE DAY YOU MADE THIS VIDEO
Edit: okay I’m kinda dissatisfied with this review and there’s a lot of this he doesn’t understand but that’s understandable because he’s not been following dave properly. The love songs are linking in to the girl in how I met my ex so it’s kinda like a prequel to the song and Lesley is the sequel to it. He’s speaking to a therapist because since Dave was just starting secondary school his brothers were in prison, most notably the middle child Christopher going into jail for murder in 2010 and psychodrama is a way of therapy where they act out the events of their past, which is why he’s telling the whole story of Lesley. People in therapy often tell the full story from the very very beginning and it intensified our relationship with Lesley in a sense which increases the impact. These are all the things he’s felt over the last year specifically but more broadly things he’s been dealing with through all his life. Also the reoccurring piano is because he taught himself to play piano since he was young partially because his brothers were creative people too I think Chris played piano actually. There’s more to it but I don’t remember everything he critiques in it and I can’t defend everything really so 🤷🏽♂️ this is also some exposition since this is mainly an American audience in case anyone’s wondering some of the gaps in his knowledge of the context of the album.
