Monaghan hip-hop artist Active returns with moving single 'Stand'
The Polish-born, Irish-raised rapper and producer returns with the follow-up to 'No Object'.
Following the release of his Youth EP and 'No Object' earlier this year, Irish hip-hop artist Active is back with new single, 'Stand'.
The poignant track finds Active emotionally addressing a loved one, featuring the smooth hook: "If you stick by me, we'll stand the test of time."
Polished production comes courtesy of Active and frequent collaborator Conor Eiffe.
Born Maksymilian Skiba in Nakło nad Notecią, Poland, Active emigrated to Ireland alongside his parents at the age of one. Growing up in a border town, he found his creative outlet in hip-hop, and was inspired by Logic, J.Cole, NF and Kendrick Lamar.
A stunning contrast to his previous release, 'No Object', 'Stand' signals exciting new elements in Active's sound – further cementing his status as one of the most convincing emerging voices in Irish hip-hop.
