D.U.P. (Da Universal Playaz) was a short-lived but vibrant collective led by Dave, featuring an eclectic lineup including Jimmy Cliff, Candy Dulfer, and Mudbone Cooper. Their sole album, released in the early 2000s, fused funk, reggae, soul, and rock into a genre-defying celebration of musical collaboration. The project was born out of Dave’s Artist Network label and showcased his knack for bringing together diverse talents. With tracks that bounce between groove-heavy jams and socially conscious lyrics, the album reflects the spirit of experimentation and unity. Though it didn’t chart widely, it remains a hidden gem for collectors and fans of Dave’s post-Eurythmics explorations
