The Hot Press Newsdesk, 21 Sep 2012

Dublin rapper and producer GI is set to release his debut album Underworld on September 28. Today he has unveiled the video for 'Don', check it out below.

GI - real name Christopher Buckley - gave a sampling masterclass at last year's Music Show in the RDS. He produced both Lethal Dialect albums and is currently working on the third installment, as well as putting the final touches on his own.

We speak to GI in the new issue of Hot Press (Mumford & Sons cover), about the album. "A lot of hip hop uses the same generic theme", he tells Maeve Heslin. "Why not show a bit of positivity? I want to make music for people who are struggling. I want to motivate them."
