Dave - PSYCHODRAMA First REACTION/REVIEW 

Dave's brother is serving life in prison and is going through therapy to get through it. That's the concept of the 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. 🇬🇧🔥

I clicked on this so fast coz I’m from the UK. Big up Shawn for his international music taste 😂😂😂

Where my UK goons at 🇬🇧 Edit: Location, Streatham & Disaster were bangers but we let that slide

J Hus is currently in prison for knife possession, this feature was insanely hyped over here because it came out of nowhere.

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

Dave plays piano. Which is why you hear a lot of keys in his production.

don't ever place dave and shaq in the same sentence again i beg

shawn cee? reacting to uk shit? i love you for this !

Thank you for branching out to The UK scene and trying something new

Definition of Psychodrama: a form of psychotherapy in which patients act out events from their past. The title Makes a lot more sense when you know what it means lol

1:38 - Psycho 4:30 - Streatham 5:31 - Black 9:17 - Purple Heart 9:59 - Location (feat. Burna Boy) 10:14 - Disaster (feat. J Hus) 11:09 - Screwface Capital 12:51 - Environment 14:43 - Lesley (feat. Ruelle) 18:51 - Voices 19:01 - Drama

He plays the piano himself, which is likely the reason why he uses it so often

"Next track is umm.. straythem?" UK is going mad right now lmao

I don't think you understand afrobeats, songs like Location, Disaster and Voices bang over here in the UK

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

this is proof cyber bullying works

‘I don’t wanna do U N I, like I’m at Leicester, skipping my lectures’ If u know you know

YESS GET MELON TO REVIEW THIS THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO IT

“Freaky Friday” Yeye Shawn that’s what it’s called

Leslie was so hard imo. serious big ups to Dave for making a track as ambitious as that about abuse.

They tried to kill you on twitter about this one

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

I didn’t know I needed this, but I needed this. Dave is 💯

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.

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

Finally! The quickest I’ve ever clicked a vid bc I’m from the UK

Thank you legless man for the UK Recognition

Shawn "I like a lot of UK artists" Cee 21 savage

Damn all them dave comments finally worked

Disaster, Streatham and Screwface Capital are my favourites. The album is just cold.

Tbh I feel like you're definitely underrating this album.

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.

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

*_wait this I S psychodrama by dave_*

His brothers in jail doing life for murder that was his voice at the end, great review btw 👍🏾🙌🏾🇬🇧

Man I am so happy you reviewed this

that’s the most disrespectful shit ever, comparing dave to big shaq 😭😂

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

you should listen to ‘game over’ ep by dave or just the tracks ‘how i met my ex’ and ‘my 19th birthday’

You should check out Octavian Shawn

The voice of the “therapist” talking sporadically throughout the album is Dominic West an English actor; McNulty from The Wire

Im really happy you did this. And happy you understand and love the songs. Love from London

I have been commenting listen to him for so long. I died when I saw this on my feed. Thank you dawg

WHERES MY LITTLE SIMZ - GREY AREA REVIEW SHAWN?!

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!!

When Loyle Carner releases his next album please REACT/REVIEW it, if it takes your fancy that is

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

I changed this comment so you don’t know how I got this many likes

I've been waiting for the uk reaction, im so glad dave is the first. My fav artist from the UK.

Fam .The way I dropped everything when I saw this because I’m from the uk too🙌🏾 big up Shawn 🇬🇧

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.

Yes. finally you listened to one of my recommendations

I’m sooooo glad you reacted to this Dave is up next to go global

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.

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!

BIG up from the UK for this one Shawn 🇬🇧 leg reveal at 500k?

Thank you so much for reacting to this 🙏🏼 UK artists deserve more recognition

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.

Shawn you better review the new Little Simz album Grey Area, she’s repping the U.K. right. AOTY contender

3 Gs in the ring call me Alvarez 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I’ve been waiting for this

Yes!!!! Thank you for reacting to this. He deserves success. Best In the UK

I was waiting for this

How is lesly not your favorite song lol

So happy you are doing the UK scene Shawn!

So excited to watch this. Love from the U.K

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.

Lesley’s not a made up story bro...that’s some real life shit going on in his life.

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👌

THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS

I was just thinking of a way I could get Shawn to listen to Pyschodrama !! So gassed

Where is the Little Simz review?!?

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’m so glad you decided to react to this 🇬🇧🇬🇧

Dave has a strong voice? Skepta, giggs, p money, prez t. Thats what i call a strong voice.

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

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

Hyped you're reacting to this. Best album out the UK, he deserves the recognition

Long time coming. Thank you for covering our scene atm ❤

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
