Dave & Central Cee — Music Videos

Two London rappers

Dave and Central Cee are British rappers whose collaboration connects two distinct paths through London’s contemporary rap scene. Dave, also known as Santan Dave, developed a reputation for detailed storytelling, wordplay, and piano-informed songwriting on projects such as Psychodrama and We’re All Alone in This Together. Central Cee emerged from west London with a more clipped delivery and drill-centered releases, including the mixtapes Wild West and 23. Each maintained a solo career before they joined forces on a substantial shared release.

Sprinter and Split Decision

Their single “Sprinter” arrived in June 2023, followed by the four-track EP Split Decision. Alongside “Sprinter,” the project includes “Trojan Horse,” “UK Rap,” and “Our 25th Birthday.” The record gives both rappers space to trade lines and compare experiences, moving between success, relationships, ambition, and memories of life before their wider recognition. Its compact format makes the interaction between their voices especially important.

Different voices in conversation

Dave’s measured phrasing and densely connected observations sit beside Central Cee’s more immediate, sharply rhythmic delivery. Their collaboration works through contrast as much as similarity, allowing casual humor to appear alongside more reflective passages. The shared credit refers to these recordings together, rather than a separate band replacing their individual identities.
