Hot For 2022 Irish Acts: Uppbeat
We're bringing you a selection of the homegrown acts primed for a major breakthrough in 2022...
UPPBEAT
Blurring the boundaries between high-energy punk and socially conscious hip-hop, this Mayo artist refuses to play it safe, with unapologetically raw anthems addressing everything from mental health struggles to the housing crisis. It’s an approach that’s struck a powerful chord with his online community with over 600,000 Spotify streams on his 2021 track ‘Exhale’.
HEAR: His recent 9-track project HI V!Z
WATCH: The politically-charged video for ‘Landlord’ interspersed with real footage of recent Irish evictions
