God Knows, the "big brother of Irish hip hop", will release Who's Asking, produced by Fly High Society's SertOne, on February 28.
God Knows will release a new EP titled Who's Asking? on February 28 via Fly High Society, produced by the label's founder SertOne.
The Zimbabwean-Irish hip hop MC won the Choice Music Prize with his Rusangano Family bandmates, showcased at SXSW and played at Berlin's People Festival. Major international media is taking note of the rise of Irish hip-hop, and God Knows is at the helm.
A remix of Who’s Asking? features some of the most exciting MCs working in Ireland at the moment - all of whom just happen to hail from the west coast. Who’s Asking Remix features Denise Chaila, Hazey Haze, Citrus Fresh, Gavin DaVinci and Strange Boy Nature. In addition, the EP includes Kettle On (prod. by The Line) and VHS 3:16 (prod. by Naive Ted).
Using his music to break down cultural, racial and geographical barriers is nothing new to God Knows, but this project sees him push those boundaries even further.

He says, "Who’s Asking? is a direct answer to the questions I’m asked all the time about Irish rap. I believe in my county; I believe in my country. Irish music has always punched above its weight on the world’s stage and put its own stamp on popular music - why should rap and hip-hop be any different?"
The MC says Who's Asking? is part of a bigger plan.
"This EP is just the first volume and it’s being released on my brother SertOne’s label, Fly High Society. He has always been supportive and we share the same beliefs. Look out for more work by us."
