Papa Dee

David Christopher Daniel Wahlgren (born 13 July 1966), better known by the stage name Papa Dee, is a Swedish rap, ragga and dancehall musician. Papa Dee's commercially most successful track, is his version of the Cat Stevens song "The First Cut is the Deepest".

Wahlgren was born in Gothenburg, Sweden, to a Swedish mother and a Ghanian father.[1] His father left the family when he was a little child.[2]

He debuted in 1988 with the single Funky Raggamuffin/Let the music play, a mixture of dancehall and hip hop. He then joined, and became the rapper for the group Stonefunkers, followed by a few years of cooperation with Rob'n'Raz. He went solo, and had his breakthrough in 1990 with the album Lettin' off steam, which was predominantly hip hop and dancehall. His next album, One Step Ahead, had elements of soul and reggae, mixing song and rap. His 1994 release, Original Master, produced by Denniz Pop at Cheiron Studio, incorporated eurodisco into his music.

During the 1990s and 2000s he released several albums, often in cooperation with Desmond Foster. He is also a member of The Brooklyn Funk Essentials and recorded Walking Down Memory Gap Lane with David Barratt as Dubchek.
