Waterford hip-hop artist Alex Gough shares video for 'That's My Job'

Rising Waterford hip-hop artist Alex Gough has released the visuals for his latest track, 'That's My Job', featuring an array of employment-related costume changes.

The irresistibly catchy track shows off Gough's enviable flow and versatility, but the video allows the more playful side of his performer personality to shine.

As a musician first – Gough is also a talented jazz drummer – he developed an easy easy flow and paired it with self-deprecating wit, solidifying his place as one of the most intriguing acts to come out of Ireland's brimming hip-hop scene.

From tracks like the Normal People-featured 'Dear SJ' and 'Breakfast' to the more recent 'FOOL', 'BACKSEAT' and 'HEART ATTACK'; Gough blends '80s and '90s nostalgia with life's modern anxieties. His October-released mixtape cemented his status as "One to Watch" for 2021.

Speaking to Hot Press recently about his jazz-infused mixtape FOREVER CLASSIC, Gough said:

"Every word, sentence, and sound you hear, I wanted it to take you into a world that I created, mainly because I couldn’t get out and be in the world, with lockdown. I tried to create this world based on my love for the ‘80s and ‘90s. I’ve described it to a few people now as being like a movie. The end is supposed to be this tongue-in-cheek interview, summing up the project like credits in a film. I want people to be able to immerse themselves in it, and create a world that might not be immediately obvious, but if you really look at it and dig, you’ll find it."
