Recently, HipHopDX caught up with Dae Dae for our Up NeXt by DX feature. Hailing from America’s Hip Hop mecca, Atlanta-born Dae Dae currently has the #8 spot on urban radio “Wat U Mean (Aye, Aye, Aye).” Additionally, Dae Dae just made his debut on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. On Monday, Beats1 premiered the “Wat U Mean (Aye Aye Aye)” remix featuring Lil Yachty.

His 2016 debut mixtape, “4 Reasons,” is home to “Big Bankroll,” where he trades verses with Rich Homie Quan, and “Spend It,”- which received huge co-signs from Lil Wayne and 2Chainz when they jumped on the remix. With the support of legendary super-producer Nitti Beatz and 300 Entertainment, Dae Dae remains humble not losing sight of his positive, feel-good attitude that he pours into everything that he does.

Now, Taxstone travels to Atlanta to interview the Atlanta MC. Watch as Dae Dae sheds light on his come up and recording process.
