\nExclusive \u2013 <\/span> Dave East isn\u2019t shy about his upbringing \u2014 like he tells HipHopDX<\/em>, he\u2019s \u201cseen some shit.\u201d Born in New York City, the now 33-year-old rapp<\/a>er bounced around between his mother\u2019s house in East Harlem and the Queensbridge area where his aunt lived as kid. Athletically gifted, he played football and basketball at Springbrook High School in Maryland before linking with the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) where he developed a close friendship with current Brooklyn Nets All-Star Kevin Durant.<\/p>\n

Following high school graduation, East enrolled at University of Richmond before transferring to Towson University where the 6\u20197\u2033 athlete joined their basketball team. There, he ran into ongoing issues with the coaching staff and ultimately quit. With his newfound free time, East started landing in trouble running around the Baltimore streets.<\/p>\n
