Harlem’s own Dave East pulls up to HOT 97 Mornings with Mero to talk all things “Price of Pain,” his new album produced entirely by Harry Fraud. Dave breaks down the chemistry behind the project, how he approaches making music at different stages of life, and why building a deep catalog matters more than chasing a single hit.
The conversation also covers Dave’s rise in the podcast space alongside Jim Jones, Fabolous, and Maino, his early co-sign from Nas, working with Snoop Dogg and other legendary collaborators, and what’s next for him beyond music — including acting and directing. Plus, Dave talks New York’s current moment in hip hop and reflects on 10+ years in the industry without ever chasing radio spins.
