Ah right, I thought there might have been some kind of scandal.


Like how no one from the Fontaines is from North Dublin or Tallaght.

That's a decent tune. Are these lads real scumbags this time? Versatile has me not trusting myself

Kneecap are just some lads from West Belfast. All the heads up there talk the way they do, they probably went to my school and everything. The ones you actually have to watch out for don't say that kind of shit ha
 
Dublin city’s Mango X MathMan round of their incredible 2019 with the lead single from their debut album ‘Casual Work’ - one of the most anticipated Irish albums of the year.

‘Deep Blue’, featuring Irish music icon Lisa Hannigan is the groups love letter to the city they were born and raised in. MathMan’s blending of cinematic orchestration (performed by Ireland’s world famous ‘Crash Ensemble’) with cutting-edge, contemporary music production gives ‘Deep Blue’ a unique and distinct sound, unlike anything heard from MXM before.

Mango’s lyricism weaves a poetic narrative of the beauty and the flaws of Dublin city and life here for young people. This coupled with the gentle power of Lisa Hannigan’s haunting vocals make ‘Deep Blue’ a powerful yet beautifully balanced song with wide cross-over potential.

Having established themselves as one of the most highly regarded groups in Ireland; with one of the most talked about live shows, Mango X MathMan continue to push the musical and creative boundaries of what is expected from an Irish music group. Their new album see’s them break further artistic ground with a more musically rich, mature and exciting creation. The album ‘Casual Work’ – over three years in the making will be released November 8th 2019.

Deep Blue will be released across all platforms on Friday October 18th. This is a bold statement of intent from one of Ireland's most interesting and un-compromising groups.

Red Bull Presents;
ORIGINS, THE STORY OF IRISH HIP HOP

Premiering on RTÉ One on Thursday, 3rd of September at 10:15pm

Streaming on RedBull.com from Friday, 11th of September

'Origins: The Story of Irish Hip Hop' is a new documentary presented by Red Bull that chronicles the journey of the genre in Ireland over the past four decades, it's been in the works for several years and is the most comprehensive oral history of hip hop in Ireland to date.

Artists featured within the documentary include; Biig Piig, Breezy Ideygoke, Collie Costello, Damien Dempsey, Denise Chalia, DJ Flip, Emmet Kirwan, Fehdah, Frankie Grimes, Scary Éire, DJ Mek, God Knows, Jafaris, Kneecap, Kojaque, Lethal Dialect, Luca Palm, Mango X Mathman, Mark Murphy, Maverick Saber, Messiah J & The Expert, Mr. Affiliate / J.B2, Murli, Nealo, Ophelia, Rob Kelly, Strange Boy, Blindboy / Rubberbandits and Yamma Yamma.

The 52-minute documentary which is presented by Red Bull and produced by Collective Films, premieres on RTÉ One on Thursday, 3rd of September and features interviews with journalists, music industry figures, musicians, archivists, fans and more, as they explore the reasons behind the booming Irish hip hop scene in 2020 and how exactly it arrived at this point.

‘Origins, The Story of Irish Hip Hop’ goes straight to the source by telling the story of how hip hop slowly infiltrated Irish culture over the course of the past four decades, going from a niche underground genre to one that is nipping at the heels of the mainstream today. We hear about pioneering group Scary Eire's ill-fated but entertaining deal with Island Records (a story surely ripe for a Hollywood adaptation) told via journalists and A&R men, and discover why they are still cited as major influences on a generation of Irish rappers. Various members of what you might call the 'old guard' - Rob Kelly, Messiah J and the Expert, Ophelia and Lethal Dialect amongst them - talk about laying the groundwork for the current crop, and how they were forced to rail against people constantly dismissing the very notion of 'Irish hip hop'.

Actor Emmet Kirwan and rapper/author/podcast host Blindboy discusses how hip hop became a voice for the Irish working class, and how the playing field changed when artists found the courage to rap in their authentic accents. Nealo talks about how he uses hip hop to discuss heavy real-life subjects in a light-hearted manner; we hear from Maverick Sabre about how hip hop helped him to fine-tune his identity, growing up with both an English and Irish perspective, while Jafaris, Denise Chaila, God Knows and more discuss the infusion of their African backgrounds with their Irish upbringing and how it impacts their music and the stories they tell in their songs. And then there's Belfast trio Kneecap, who are pushing the genre on by rapping in Irish – because why not?

We also hear about the challenges faced by new artists as Irish hip hop continues to grow: what does the future hold for artists in Ireland and beyond?

'Origins' is both a living, breathing document and a nod to the past. As well as a host of familiar names to those au fait with the current scene, it introduces wider Irish audiences to music that has been there for many years, but is only now having its moment in the spotlight. Mango puts it best when he describes Irish hip hop as “continuing a legacy of artists, poets and writers, but using a completely different art form to say the same thing.” This documentary captures the beauty of how different voices can come together to make something unique and powerful – something that may not have originated here, but which has arguably captured the essence of modern Ireland like no other genre. Now, do yourself a favour and watch it.
