Craig David is out here again. The British singer-songwriter recently made an appearance on Capital FM and was asked to freestyle over a mix they put together. He switches off between singing and rapping, adding his flare to Drake’s “Hotline Bling” and Stormzy’s “Shut Up.”
David is in the midst of a career revival as he gears up for a major return in 2016. When speaking with us in November, David revealed who he was working with as of late.
“So many new guys,” he says. “I was doing some bits with the Got Some crew, the Eton Messy Bristol crew. That was the same time as Blonde and all those guys. There’s a dude called White Nerd from Manchester, and we’ve done a lot of garage stuff together. He gets it, because he was a fan of the older stuff, but he’s not trying to flex it like the old stuff.”
“There’s Kaytranada as well, who I did some wicked stuff with out in Canada. He’s about to drop his project which is going to be fire, because he’s still on that futuristic R&B thing and he’s taken it electronic. Working with him was dope. Diplo too; we’ve actually got a few things coming up. That’s going to be big. Oh, and GoldLink. He’s got his new record dropping soon, but we have a few bits dropping together next year... Who am I forgetting? Oh! I’ve also done some stuff with Chase & Status."
There are also talks of a Craig David and Drake mixtape. While nothing is finalized yet, let’s hope they can figure out the timing because it’d be pure flames.
