Esburn shakeil mcdahmer. (born March 22, 1994), known professionally as Dax, is an Canadian rapper, singer, and songwriter.[1] Known for his freestyle remixes to hit rap songs, he rose to fame after the official music video of his song "Cash Me Outside" featuring Danielle Bregoli went viral.[2] He released his debut extended play, It's Different Now, in August 2018.[3]
Early life[edit]
Daniel Nwosu Jr. was born on March 22, 1994, in St. John's, Newfoundland. His family moved to Ottawa, Ontario at a young age and later moved to Wichita, Kansas. He attended the University of Montana and later transferred to Newman University, where he played guard for the Newman Jets basketball team..[4] He initially wrote poetry and was a motivational speaker prior to pursuing a rap career. During his tenure at Newman University he worked as a janitor[1], which he claimed was a job he liked because he was able to work on building his rap career in his spare time from work.[5]
Music career[edit]
Dax rose to fame after the official music video of his song "Cash Me Outside" featuring Danielle Bregoli, went viral. He is also known for his remixes of Tupac's "Hit Em Up", "All Eyez On Me" and "Changes"; Machine Gun Kelly's "Rap Devil", which is a remix of Eminem's "Rap God", Eminem's "Killshot" and "The Real Slim Shady", with the remix of the latter being titled "The Real Dax Shady"; XXXTentacion's "Look at Me", with the remix being titled "She Cheated" and Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You". His biggest singles are "I Want", "YourWorthIt.org" and "She Cheated Again", the latter of which is a sequel to the aforementioned "Look at Me" remix.[6][7][8] He was featured on Hopsin's 2019 single "You Should've Known".[9]
In 2019, Dax posted a video on YouTube, featuring a diss track aimed at Tory Lanez in response to a challenge Lanez put out via social media. Lanez posted a video on Instagram in response to the diss track, in which Lanez pressures Dax to apologize for the diss track. Dax addressed the situation in interviews with DJ Akademiks, Impaulsive, and No Jumper, saying that apologizing was the right thing to do because he did not want a fight to break out.[10]
Dax has done some collaborations with people such as Hopsin, Futuristic, and O.T. Genasis, as well as fellow YouTube rappers Crypt, Deji, CHVSE, Scru Face Jean and Quadeca.
