Could it be Maverick?

Messiah J & The Expert and Captain Moonlight have some competition in the credible Irish hip hop stakes with the emergence of teen rapper Maverick Sabre.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 03 Feb 2009

Yup, hotpress.com is very taken with ‘Lonely Side Of Life’, one of five tracks that can be found on myspace.com/mavericksabre.

The 18-year-old rhymer in question was born in the Hackney area of London, but moved to Wexford whilst still a nipper. Influenced, so he says, by The Beatles, Tupac Shakur and Bob Dylan, Maverick Sabre has spent two years assembling his own songs, which have earned him Urban Takeover and Me! Orange Unsigned award nominations.

We’ll have more on this whipsmart young gentleman in a coming issue.

When five-year-old Michael Stafford was uprooted from his life in Hackney to a new home in County Wexford, it seemed unlikely that the wee innovator would be getting nods from the Beeb and selling out shows in London’s finest hip-hop establishments at just 19 years of age. Celina Murphy hops on the MAVERICK SABRE bandwagon.
