Dave closed last nights show with a historic performance. The rapper performed previously at the 2020 awards show with a powerful performance of his song “Black” alongside his producer Fraser T Smith on the piano. This year, the youthful rapper made another statement with the performance of his track “In The Fire” of his chart-topping and Brit nominated album We’re All Alone In This Together. Not only did the rapper bring out featured artists Fredo, Meekz, Giggs and Ghetts to bless the Brits stage and showcase the talent in the UK rap scene from a number of different generations and genres, but the 23-year-old old embodied his inner Jimi Hendrix with a guitar solo on a flame thrower guitar, solidifying him as a legend within the UK rap scene and as an all-time great British artist.
