Rising Dublin rapper Curtisy and producer, film maker and artist Rory Sweeney made their way to casa del mabfield this week for a long overdue conversation. We talked about taking inspiration from the growth of New York rapper WIKI, who they'd like to work with, their working relationship with the likes of Ahmed, With Love. and their forthcoming EP.

Rising rappers E The Artist and Ahmed, With Love. joined us to talk about who’d win in an Irish music scene royal rumble, how Ahmed moved back and forth from Sierra Leone to Ireland and the increasing camaraderie in the scene post-lockdown.

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”.
