Today, d4vd joins Atlanta rapper 21 Savage on a new collaborative track “Call Me Revenge” ft. d4vd via Epic Records (stream HERE). The song was featured in the world premiere of the trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, titled “The Lobby” (watch the trailer HERE). The video game will officially debut on November 10and the single is a highlight off the official soundtrack.

Produced by Ryan Tedder, “Call Me Revenge” boasts an infectious chorus by d4vd with 21 Savage’s instantly recognizable flow to create a collaboration of epic proportions. Much like the prolific video game series it celebrates, “Call Me Revenge” is action-packed and addicting, and enhances the cinematic qualities of the new teaser trailer. As a former YouTube gamer and Fortnite aficionado who began making music to work around copyright strikes, the track marks a full circle moment for d4vd.

‘The Lobby’ trailer brings the iconic Call Of Duty game lobby to life with appearances from several instantly identifiable musicians and sports stars like 21 Savage, Devin Booker, and Central Cee. Directed by David Leitch (John Wick, Bullet Train, Deadpool 2), “Call Me Revenge” is masterfully infused into the game’s preview.

2023 has been a monumental year for d4vd. This summer he received a Streamy Award Nomination for “Here With Me” in the “Rolling Stone Sound of the Year” category. Earlier this year, he was honored as part of Billboard’s 21 under 21 and Variety’s Young HollywoodImpact Report lists. As part of their ‘Bummer Summer’ campaign, Spotify also installed a d4vd statue in his hometown of Houston’s Buffalo Bayou Park. Last month he continued the momentum with his second-ever EP ‘The Lost Petals.’ Upon release Billboard raved “he’s showing that those singles were really just the beginning, with both his songwriting and his sonics continuing to develop at a rapid rate.”

After two sold-out headline tours, d4vd is currently performing with R&B powerhouse SZA on the second leg of her North American S.O.S. tour.

About d4vd:

d4vd, born David Burke, emerged as a visionary artist only one year after he began writing and recording heart-piercing tracks alone in his sister’s closet in Houston, Texas. d4vd developed his eclectic taste in rap and indie music from internet wormholes and fan-made Fortnite videos on YouTube, which he also started creating as a homeschooled teenager. As an avid player who has amassed over fifty thousand subscribers on his gaming channel, he noticed that the songs in his game montages were getting copyright strikes, and his mother suggested that he write original music as a solution. This motivated d4vd to start recording his own tracks after discovering an easy-to-use music-making app called BandLab. He’s released a smattering of singles touching everything from indie-alternative to pop to R&B, and the 18-year-old scored a breakout hit in the summer of 2022 with the now RIAA Multi-Platinum certified melancholic indie rock song “Romantic Homicide.” Recorded entirely on an iPhone, the track reached No. 34 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and led to d4vd signing to Darkroom/Interscope before graduating high school. His slow-building beachy ballad, “Here With Me” followed, breaking into the Billboard Hot 100 in January 2023 and now RIAA Platinum Certified. d4vd’s debut EP Petals To Thorns established him as a genre-defying newcomer and one of the best new emerging acts, corroborated by his recent Billboard 21 Under 21 and Variety Young Hollywood honors. His intuitive command of lyricism stems from his years of scribbling raps and poems in his journal since childhood and his versatile interests shine in his music, drawing primarily from manga and anime. Following on the heels of his spring headline ‘The Root of it All’ debut tour, which sold out immediately upon going on sale, and a successful run of sold-out European tour dates, d4vd brought his ‘Petals To Thorns’ tour to larger stages in the US than ever before. Amid his European run, d4vd put on a show-stopping performance at the Valentino Men’s SS24 Fashion Week show in Milan. He recently followed up his debut EP with The Lost Petals EP – a collection of five songs that fit into the world of Petals To Thorns and serve as a continuation of that project before d4vd moves into his next phase of music. Now, d4vd joins R&B powerhouse SZA on the second leg of her North American S.O.S. tour.
