With a name short for Does. Real. Ass. Music., 29-year old rapper, singer and producer DRAM will be making his Australian headline debut early next year. Coming in hot off the back of the release of his debut record Big Baby D.R.A.M. and his massive single Broccoli (featuring fellow buzz king Lil Yachty), which has amassed over a whopping 396 million streams on Spotify, the world initially took notice with his breakout hit Cha Cha, including Queen B herself. Lending his trappy-go-lucky vocals on collaborations with Chance the Rapper, Gorillaz and SZA, the US rapper will be hitting the stage after an extensive US headline tour as well as performances at SXSW, Coachella and Austin City Limits.
