Originally venturing on his sonic adventure at a young age back in 2008, Dange started out as a grime MC in high school where he entertained his fellow classmates with his slick freestyle talents alongside friends in the hip hop outfit called Greezy Cadets. Taking a hiatus from music after school, in 2019 he picked up the mic again and pursued his sonic dreams with a rekindled passion and sense of purpose.
Commenting on that time, he shares “I started taking music more seriously again after I lost one of my closest and dearest friends in 2021. It’s just something he really wanted to see me do well in and really believed in me and my sound more than anyone, so I owe it to him and myself.”
Citing influence from artists such as Nafe Smallz, Lil Durk, Kodak Black, Lil Baby and Migos, Dange has been winning over fans with his razor-sharp vocal delivery and well crafted lyricism. Dropping his debut single “Global (Freestyle)” in the summer of 2019, he’s since shared a string of stellar singles and linked up with other artists on two features including his hit “Be Friends” with Nafe Smallz which has clocked over half a million streams alone.
Now bringing us his latest release, he shares his new debut EP titled New Heights, a seven-track record that offers a compelling run through of Dange’s cutting edge style of modern hip hop. Drawing on his own experiences of struggle and strife, he threads the tracks on his EP with moving expression in his vocals which float over his beat-driven cuts in rhythm-perfect style.
Closing the release with an emotive tribute on “Its Okay”, he caps his superb debut EP with the very best of his rare lyrical flair. Sharing his vulnerabilities through honest and heartfelt songwriting on the track, he offers “This song really left me emotionally exposed, a side of me that I’ve never shown musically let alone publicly. I felt like after I wrote this song my sound evolved and I’ve really been in my bag ever since with a whole new fire and passion. I really just have been having fun with it and just trying to be me as much as possible.“
