"Waving a tricolour won’t make you Irish"
Irish hip-hop duo Tebi Rex have released 'Ireland's Full,' a track made in response to recent anti-immigration protests.
"Some people that look like me are claiming that those who don’t look like me are causing the end of their world," said one of the duo's members Matt O'Baoill.
"I’m so tired of seeing 'patriotism' used as an excuse to be racist," he said.

The track features some lyrics delivered in Irish. "I only really say a few sentences as Gaeilge in this verse and I just know that most of the folks claiming that they’re 'putting Ireland first' probably don’t understand it," said O'Baoill in an Instagram post, which features a clip of the song.

A music video of the full track is due to come out soon.
The group, which also features Max Zanga, formed in Maynooth and released their first single 'Black Enough' in 2018.
In January of this year, Tebi Rex announced that their next album Fin would be their last as a duo.
The group were tipped by Hot Press as a Hot for 2019 act.
