Dave East is the latest guest to appear on Karen Civil & Civil TV's "Welcome To My Neighborhood" series. In the latest episode, Dave East takes us through his hometown of Harlem, NYC where he was born & raised. Talks spending time in Queens, working on his craft, signing to Nas' Mass Appeal records & more.

[@youngdior7806]

He's the best rapper out right now period. He got that old g-unit work ethic where he's dropping a song a day or a week.

[@FaLauren]

It seem like all rappers lose somebody important in their life before they make it to the next level.. Must bring out a different drive

[@lifestraight]

A lot of people in general. More non rappers than rappers for sure, but yeah especially from those hoods.

Carlton Nard lol i thought you were gonna say illuminati sacrifice

[@franckt5574]

carlton nard .i think many are in touch with the law ..one you in the system i think many are snitch or something know what i mean ...they talk too much of their shit on camera think about it ...cmon..their friend die they was with him on some robberies shit his friend die and tell the police because they scared for their life ..because they mess with real killaz know what i mean ...think why every rapper tell so in interviews...

[@gx0dbxy817]

Everybody eventually loses somebody important at some point in their life. It’s just that famous rappers are heard, normal people aren’t.
