Big cuddly teddy bear DRAM, hot on the hells of a widely-loved Austin City Limits performance, has laid down the law when it comes to the annunciation of his name.
Straight up, we’re guilty of labelling DRAM as D.R.A.M. in the past so consider this a small apology – and a thank you for actually clearing up the grammar. As a music writer who is too often assailed with multiple band name spellings, unsure capital letters and abbreviations that come and go, having someone definitively hand you the proper written form is a luxury.
So Wikipedia, looks like you need a quick edit on this bad boy.
D.R.A.M. or DRAM? The Virginia-based MC has laid down the proper way of spelling his name, so quit it with the full stops from now on yeah?
Whether you know DRAM for his solo material, his massive collaborations with the likes of Gorillaz, A$AP Rocky or Young Thug, his big smiley face or just his mad, comfy style, there’s plenty of him to love. This latest slice of goodness comes in the form of a cute announcement video, which will probably just make you fall for him harder.

He’ll also be making a rare Australian appearance at this year’s Falls Festival, plus two sideshows. Given the cancellation of his May tour with Groovin’ The Moo, I’d bet fans are extra desperate to catch him Down Under.
