Stephen Allen started his career as Dutch in 2016 with songs like “New Jack City,” eventually going by the stage name Dutchavelli. However, his career was put on hold for two years while he was imprisoned on remand due to legal issues in 2018 regarding a firearm charge.
After being granted a licence in 2020, the rapper gained popularity again and created a number of songs, including “Only If You Knew,” which garnered over 20 million views in a short period of time.
Additionally, Dutchavelli has given a number of hits in collaborations with artists such as Stormzy and M Huncho. Furthermore, he has cemented his name as one of the leading emerging talents in the drill scene as well.
