Dave East proved his doubters wrong when he released his latest album Paranoia: A True Story. The lyricism, wordplay and storytelling that we expect from Dave were on full display, however East showed us his ability to make complete songs as well with “Perfect” feat. Chris Brown and others.

To give us a more in-depth look at not only his life, but the process it took to create Paranoia, the Harlem emcee has decided to kick off a new vlog series deemed “EastMode” presented by Civil TV.

For the first episode, “The Paranoia Diaries”, Dave gets a fresh haircut, pumps some iron in the gym, and buys an adorable new puppy for his daughter, Kairi. Oh yeah, he also gives us some tips on daily essentials people should always have on them.

Enjoy the first episode of “EastMode” below and stay tuned for episode 2!
