Dave has dropped the official video for “Chapter 16”, his standout collaboration with Kano from the chart-topping The Boy Who Played the Harp.
Directed by Harrison Adair, the visual brings two generations of UK rap together for a sharp, emotionally charged display of storytelling and lyricism.
The release follows a record-breaking month for Dave. His third album debuted at No. 1 on the Official Albums Chart, making him the first British rapper to send all three of his albums straight to the top. The project has already surpassed 200 million streams and logged 74,000 UK first-week sales, the second-biggest opening for a British album this year.
Dave became only the second British rapper to score three simultaneous Top 40 hits, with “Raindance” (feat. Tems) entering at No. 5, “History” at No. 9, and “Chapter 16” at No. 11. “Raindance” has remained a fixture in the Top 10 for four consecutive weeks, reinforcing the momentum behind one of the country’s defining artists.
