Tebi Rex are an alt hip-hop duo made up of Matt O’Baoill and Max Zanga. The pair are from Maynooth and have been releasing music together since 2016.

Following the success of 2016's ‘Black Enough,’ their first single of 2017, ‘Everything You Say is a Poem,’ picked up major radio support from the likes of 2XM, 98FM, RTE Pulse and Beat 102. 2018’s ‘Men Are Trash’ from the duo’s Welcome to the Darkest Years of Our Adventure EP made both the UK and Irish Viral Top 50 charts.

The pair are part of the Word Up Collective which was formed in early 2016. The Word Up Collective brings together “a number of artists who have been working independently and in existing groups to present a snap shot of Ireland's burgeoning hip-hop and urban music scene. From rap to pop, soul to RnB and spoken word, the Word Up artists are all pushing boundaries individually and are now coming together to take their work to even greater heights.”
