How EMBY is Bridging the gap between rap and rave in Belfast #Mabcast S2E1 MabCast

- Music
Belfast rapper Emby has really come to the fore after lockdown with performances at AVA, Plain Sailing Belfast and Crilli DNB. He’s been steadily releasing music of his own, hopping between rap, jungle, dnb and just about anything else he fancies. It puts him in the unique position where he satisfies both the pickiest hip hop heads and dance music die hards.
We talked about Ireland’s attitude towards art and creativity generally, working with Curtisy, Rory Sweeney and Ahmed, With Love. and the media’s propensity to box in black artists as “urban music”.
