Editor's note

David Dallas makes Glasgow rap with a steady hand

A Scottish rapper who found his voice with 'Runnin'' and the album 'Modern Anxiety'.

If you're checking him out, 'Sideline' and 'Modern Anxiety' give you the picture. He's not shouting, just saying what he sees.

He's one of those artists who quietly built a following without much fuss. The song 'Runnin'' got some real traction in the UK back in 2017, and his debut 'Modern Anxiety' arrived a couple years later. You can hear that steady, grounded approach in tracks like 'Sideline' and 'Big Time', nothing flashy, just solid work.

He started as a teenager in Glasgow, working with a band that included Luke Buchanan on drums and Ali Hilliard on guitar. After 'Runnin'' took off, he put out 'Modern Anxiety' in 2019 and kept releasing songs like 'The Wire' with Ruby Frost.
