It's always a treat to hear new music from Dave. He's one of south London's most exciting new rappers right now, and today he has blessed us with such a treatin the form of a new track, "Revenge," complete with accompanying music video.

Fresh off an unorthodox appearance on his now frequent collaborator Drake's playlist More Life– his contribution is a voicemail rather than a track – for "Revenge" he's on typically witty form ("Studying braille's the last time I touched a dotted line"). At the same time, he's also reminding the rest of us of his prodigious talent for his young age – "I'm 19 this year/I lost a lot of time" – ;and effortlessly riding a beat hyped up by 8-bit sounds that will almost definitely have you searching "GameBoy Colour" on eBay within the hour.

The video follows suit, with 'retro' Super Mario visuals set against a sporty, competitive narrative. The takeaway? Probably don't compete with your boy Dave, because he'll always, always win.
