LISTEN: The Hot Press Irish Hip-Hop Playlist, May '20

With a dazzlingly diverse selection of talent on offer right across the country, Irish hip-hop continues to thrive – even in the midst of a global pandemic. Embracing a DIY ethos and an unapologetically Irish stance, the sounds once reserved for the local underground are rapidly hurtling towards the international stage. That’s why we’re thrilled to launch the ‘Hot Press Irish Hip-Hop Playlist’ – a collection of some of the most thrilling new sounds in homegrown rap, trap, drill and more, updated every month.

In our inaugural Hot Press Irish Hip-Hop Playlist, you’ll find some of our favourites from the month of May – featuring Uwmami, ØMEGA, RikShaw, Offica, Tebi Rex, Evans Junior, JyellowL, Jordan Adetunji, Malaki, Jeorge II, YZ, Reggie, Cubez, Alex Gough, BoyW1DR, Rebel Phoenix, Melina Malone, Hazey Haze and Elina Filice.
