Dae Dae

Dae Dae, born Marquavis Goolsby, is a rapper from Atlanta, Georgia, part of the wave of trap-influenced Atlanta artists who broke through in the mid-2010s. His delivery combines melodic hooks with energetic, ad-lib-heavy verses typical of the city's street rap scene.

He rose to national attention with «Wat U Mean (Aye, Aye, Aye)», a breakout single whose infectious, repetitive hook and bouncy trap production made it a viral hit and helped define his sound as accessible, hook-driven trap-rap. The track later received a remix, extending its reach further into the mainstream.

Dae Dae's catalogue leans into party-oriented, high-energy records like «Spend It» and «Woke Up», reflecting the sound of Atlanta's trap scene in that era, with braggadocious lyrics over booming 808s. He has remained connected to the broader Atlanta rap ecosystem, collaborating with artists from that scene and contributing to the sound that helped define trap's mainstream crossover.
