Dapz revealed the origin of his rap moniker in an interview with Complex UK:
During the early days of my life, I was known as Dappa, but close friends called me Dapz for short. The name ‘Dapz’ or ‘Dappz’ was being used by a variety of artists, but I wanted something that would be memorable over time. Then I said: “I must be On The Map if I am going to run with ‘Dapz.'”
