Over the course of 2021, the 22-year-old rapper kept busy – injecting an eclectic new energy into the homegrown scene, with a string of acclaimed solo singles and collaborations with the likes of TrippyThaKid, Bricknasty and Ahmed, With Love – while his track with 49th & Main, ‘Alcoholics’, has garnered over 1.7 million Spotify streams. With a tongue-in-cheek delivery and a refusal to be pigeonholed, this Dublin artist looks set to enjoy a major ’22. He plays The Grand Social in Dublin on Saturday, February 12.
