Dave dropped his third studio album, The Boy Who Played the Harp and revealed a 2026 tour across the UK and Europe, ending a four-year solo hiatus with a project packed with heavyweight features and personal reflection.

The South London rapper’s 10-track release includes appearances from Nigerian vocalist Tems, genre-blending producer James Blake, UK rap legend Kano and rising talent Jim Legxacy.

Announced in October 2025, the album marks Dave’s first full-length solo project since 2021’s We’re All Alone In This Together.

In an emotional Instagram post announcing the project, Dave reflected on the journey that led to its creation, writing, “After a few years of soul searching to arrive at this point I want to say thank you to everyone who made this possible… my mum who raised me and gave me my name and destiny.”

He also thanked his fans for their unwavering loyalty during his time away from music, saying, “Over this time I have been away you have genuinely saved my life… I wake up and think about you and I write and I pray for you and I speak life into your lives every day I walk this earth.”

The 27-year-old rapper described the project as deeply spiritual and purpose-driven, adding, “I want to thank God for taking a scared little boy trying to navigate the world and giving him the chance to help others and for protecting us all.”

Dave’s past releases have earned critical acclaim and commercial dominance.

His 2019 debut, Psychodrama, won the Mercury Prize and topped the UK Albums Chart. His sophomore album also hit No. 1 and went platinum. In 2023, his joint single “Sprinter” with Central Cee broke multiple records and became the longest-running No. 1 UK rap single.

Away from music, the 27-year-old artist stayed active in philanthropy. In December 2023, he helped raise more than $633,000 for children impacted by conflict in Palestine, Sudan and Congo.

He also supported his mother’s Juliet O Foundation, which provides care for elderly patients in London and Surrey hospitals.
