Canadian rapper Dax has independently built a large following thanks to his intense lyrical delivery and high-concept videos. • Before focusing on music, Dax had a promising college basketball career. He led his conference in scoring his senior year and had aspirations of going pro. • On his 2020 single “Dear God,” Dax raps through a conversation with God, sorting through what he calls his “complicated relationship” with faith and religion. In the song’s music video, Dax plays Jesus Christ bearing the cross. • In addition to releasing original music, Dax has made popular remixes of songs by 2Pac, Eminem, and others. • Dax released his second EP, I’ll Say It For You, in early 2020 and followed it up in June with the single “Faster,” a collaboration with fellow speed rapper Tech N9ne.
