Harlem/Queens emcee Dave East is back with that gritty from the trenches New York sound that listeners came to recognize him for. East follows up his Paranoia 2 mixtape with Karma 2. Notable features on the project are Fabolous, Don Q, Lil Durk, and Blocboy JB. Dave East reminds us on K2 that you can take the individual out the hood but can’t take the hood out the individual. As he raps that the life he lives all started with a scale and a razor. Of the 19 tracks on the tape other noteworthy songs on the project are imagine, i don’t understand it, and we on featuring Border Buck. The rating is pending. The tape is good music, but it needs visuals to stick with the people. We need the movie. As Dave East drops tape after tape, we still wait for his highly anticipated debut studio album.
