Dave’s work as a session musician, songwriter and producer grew out of his touring gig with Kurtis Blow. He contributed backing vocals to Blow’s “Hard Times” in 1981 and played guitar on “Starlife” (1981), “Tough” (1982) and “Daydreamin'” (also ’82). Between 1983 and 1985, Dave was the co-writer of several recordings produced by Blow. These include Sweet G’s “Games People Play” and two tracks by The Fat Boys: “Jail House Rap” and “Hard Core Reggae.”
Dave’s first and only full-length album, Davy’s Ride, was released by Def Jam Recordings in 1987. Reviewer Mark Sinker, writing for England’s New Musical Express, described Davy as “the Hitchcock of hip-hop: sex’n’violence plots are all devices to hang unlikely technical tricks on,” adding, “[Davy’s Ride] is the weirdest, most viciously imaginative LP rap’s going to deliver for some time.” A month earlier, the New York Post’s Brian Chin declared that the album constituted “more proof that rap is this decade’s most accessible pop art.”

Primarily a hip-hop instrumental, “One for the Treble” was reviewed by Eric Schmuckler for The Village Voice in May 1984, who wrote, “Davy finds unusual sound fragments to scratch against the beat, like heavily processed voices and the soon-to-be-widely-imitated squealing tires which bring the record to a screeching halt.” Dave’s second single for Tuff City, “The DMX Will Rock” (featuring the rapper Sweet Tee), was released in 1985.
