  • Nugget: Irish Tune ft. Siyo & Class A’z

    Over the past few years Class A’z have been working brilliantly as a genuine Irish hiphop collective. Redzer, Terawrizt and Co. have brightened up the Dubin scene. The cause has also got a nice shot to the arm with Nucentz winning the Spin1038 competition to have Lupe Fiasco add a verse to his track.

    ‘Irish Tune’ is taken from Nugget‘s second album ‘Ready to Diet’ the follow up to the Ballyfermot native’s ‘The Nugget You Love to Hate’ which features the immense ‘You Fat Bastard’ ( I have been known to go round singing this particular track – a lot)

    These guys are the real deal and pull no punches. If you want a quick guide to Irish Hip Hop check out:

    Most of these are available from here. Amazing talents and really nice guys.

    Episode 47:

    This was one of those shows had made me leave the studio buzzing, I really enjoyed and I think I can safely say we had a first for DCUfm if not Irish college radio when Lethal Dialect and Costelloe dropped some rhymes live in the studio. (see the lingo IS sorted !). It was lovely to chat to Daire O’Reilly also and get an insight into the Each Small Candle Project.

    Really enjoyed the show, would love to get more hip hop in, if you’re a hip hop/rap artist get in touch!

    Here’s what happened:

    1. DJ Flip & Freezemaster Slick: Crossroads

    2. Miles Kane: Closer

    3. Interpol: Lights (This week’s Recommended Free Legal Download available from www.interpolnyc.com)

    4. Chat with Lethal Dialect and Costello

    5. Lethal Dialect (feat Tommy Hand): Hold You Down

    6. Lethal Dialect Feat Costello: The Beginning (live)

    7. Costello feat Lethal Dialect: Philosophical

    8. Lethal Dialect: Far From The End

    9. Chat with Daire O’Reilly about Each Small Candle CD project for Sosad.ie

    10. Daire O’Reilly: Oh Darlin

    11. The Minutes: Black Keys

    I’m going to see if I can get it sorted to include the live tracks included in the podcast. That would be cool!

  • New web and video projects

    Its nearly 3am, I’m not at home and can’t sleep so I might as well tell you what’s going on.

    I had a preproduction meeting earlier today with Nucentz and Rawsoul for their track ‘Let it all out’. It’s a great track and I’ve been listening to it for months on my ipod so, fingers crossed, hopefully I will be able to do it justice. The guys are a Dublin based HipHop duo but this track is completely different. Its an acoustic based track and also features the guitar work and dulcet tone of Paul Donnelly, who I had the pleasure of meeting today for the first time.

    I’m also working on a new website for the legend, Jimmy MacCarthy. Jimmy is well known in the music ondustry and is one very talented man. He wrote the Christy Moore song ‘Ride On’ amongst others. Jimmy’s site should be finished by midweek. I’ll post a link when its online.

    Trying to keep myself busy, I’ve been working on some little flash banners and animations. I was asked to submit a proposal for another website during the week. Already had a meeting in connection with that so hopefully that will work out!

    Think that’s the news for now, so from me, on location, in rainy Ballinteer,

    …nessy out!
