Dave and James Blake is a pairing that makes complete sense once you hear it — the UK rapper's meticulous, politically charged lyricism landing over Blake's characteristically spectral production on History, a standout from The Boy Who Played the Harp. Dave has been operating on a level that outpaces most of his peers for years, and this track — with Blake bringing a melancholy architecture that deepens every word — is one of his most resonant moments to date.
