Recommended If You Like Thread - March 30, 2019 Posted: 30 Mar 2019 11:04 AM PDT If you're looking for a recommendation give a description/music link/artist so that other people will know what you want. Example: I want to hear an artist that sounds like old Kanye (you can get more specific but that's enough imo). And then someone will respond with X, Y, and Z You can also recommend an artist/project/scene Example: You guys should check out DJ Mustard's mixtape Ketchup RIYL (recommended if you like) post-hyphy and minimalistic west coast beats. Remember, the point of this thread is to share music, try not to post stuff that's already really popular unless it answers someone's question. Also the more descriptive you guys are with your posts the easier it is to help you find what you want, just stating an artists name isn't that helpful since you might only like one specific aspect of that artist's music.

Posted: 30 Mar 2019 06:13 AM PDT I was inspired by the recent number of international guides to hip hop on the sub, and decided i should do the same for Ireland. As an working class Irishman I've always related to and resonated with hip hop for various reasons. The big two being that I grew up in a working class environment and Ireland is a post colonial state that went through 800 years of oppression. This write-up will hone in on some of my favourite Irish artists and hopefully give them some well deserved shine. Scary Éire: Scary Éire are seen as the godfathers of Irish hip hop, with their gritty, raw and hard hitting 90s sound. The group emerged from working class housing estates in the 90s and grew a cult following. While having virtually no mainstream success their small dedicated fan base allowed them to tour all over Ireland. They have opened for a number of big hip hop acts such as Public Enemy and Gangstarr, and got a feature with Tommy Boy. Their music touches on a number of social problems such as substance abuse and collecting welfare. The song "The Dole Q" is about the line outside of a dole (welfare) office. "The Dole Q" Costello: Costello hails from Dublin, and initially rose to prominence in the late 2000s. His style is very 90s influenced and he reminds somewhat of Nas and Mos Def at times, however he still has his own distinctive style. Smooth boom bap beats and a snazzy flow are Jimmy Costello's forte and make no mistake about it, he's a top level lyricist. The song High Altitude is an Irish hip hop stoner song which doesn't stray too far from the realms of a Method Man and Redman track. His song A Page of History looks at Ireland's oppressed past by Britain. In my opinion I think this track gave Irish hip hop a legitimate mandate. In a similar way to some Black Americans rappers, Costello has used hip hop as a way to talk about his community's dark and tragic history. Rejjie Snow: Rejjie is undeniably Ireland's biggest hip hop artist globally, with his latest project Dear Annie doing solid numbers. Despite being a Dublin native, Snow has garnered some criticism here in Ireland for not having an Irish accent when he raps. In my opinion I frankly couldn't care just because of how good is music is. Rejjie Snow first came to the forefront with his track Dia Dhuit under the pseudonym Lecs Luther. With the pseudonym and the general nature of the track, i find this song to be very MF DOOM inspired. Although my favourite song by Rejjie is from him and one of my favourite rappers period, Joey Bada$$. Their track Purple Tuesday is nothing short of bliss and euphoric. Rejjie and The Badmon's great verses toppled along with the smooth and jazzy production gives us an absolute gem. Kojaque: Kojaque is the man right now in Irish hip hop. His recent project Deli Daydreams has made him an underground legend in Ireland. This album is probably my favourite Irish hip hop album. It's a concept album which details the life and inner workings of a working class Dubliner who works in a menial deli job. The album has great rapping and brilliant jazzy production and I encourage everyone here to give it a listen. Kojaque is a man of many talents. He can make great, moody and jazzy tracks like Bubby's Cream or bangers like WiFiCode. His song Sunday Roast weirdly sounds similar to DUCKWORTH. by Kendrick Lamar despite being released a whole year prior to DAMN. Jafaris: Jafaris is a another talented Dubliner. He's a musically versatile artist and can pull off many styles. His latest album Stride was released recently and it is great. A testament to his versatility would be to look at his two stylistically polar opposite songs. The bars filled and hard hitting What You Looking Ah. is inherently different from the happy go luck vibe of Time . However the case stands that these are both two great songs from a brilliant young artist filled with potential. Kneecap: While virtually none of this sub will understand these lads, it's still important to give them a mention. The two lads from Belfast are a satirical duo that rap in Irish. Check out their tracks Amach Anocht and C.E.A.R.T.A. JYellowL: JYellowL is lyricist point black period. His style Is reminiscent of the lyricists that came before us, with a modern spice. His music is very conscious and politically aware. Check out his last two EPs Bulletproof and Me N Me Too. Nealo: Dublin's Nealo's musical style is similar of that to current Chicago artists Saba and Noname, and he opened up for Saba two weeks ago. He releases very emotional music touching on topics such as substance abuse and depression. Check out his last project October Year. Rebel Phoenix: Rebel P is a venom spitting lyricist coming from Dublin. He embodies the New York spirit of spit bars and take names. He reminds me stylistically of Freddie Gibbs and Pusha T. Check out the Southern US influenced Off The Books. 7th Obi: Obi comes from all the way from Waterford; an unlikely place for hip hop to come from. Although this doesn't hamper Obi's music. He's clearly influenced by Travis Scott which is clear from hearing his music. One of my favourite tracks by 7th Obi is Too Many Nights . His latest project Taxi Club was one of my favourite Irish releases of last year, and you will love it if that style of hip hop is your thing. Thank you for taking the time to read this piece. There's so much more artists i would love to cover, however I don't want this post to be too long winded for whoever is reading it. I just thought that it was important to try and give my local scene some shine, due to how much Irish hip hop has came up in the last few years. Despite coming a long way there's still more to come. If you would like to see or hear more of the culture I suggest you go to the following : Éirwaves (Irish Hip Hop playlist), Mabfield (Irish Hip Hop podcast) and Soul Doubt (Irish Hip Hop podcast) [link] [comments] |
