This week on A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, 2016 XXL Freshman and Nas co-sign Dave East makes his way from the East Side of Harlem all the way to South Harlem! Dave talks playing big-time NYC basketball, being recruited by major college programs, falling out with coaches over style and playing time, falling into street life, finding his way back to New York with no hopes or dreams, downloading instrumentals online and rapping over whatever, creating a buzz, attracting accolades from peers and heroes, touring all over the world, gaining a huge fan-base, becoming one of the most prolific spitters in the game, and assuring a life for his daughter and family he never could have even imagined just a few years ago. What an excellent episode - hope you enjoy!
