As heard this month at All Together Now, ‘Gimme It’ is a hype collaboration between the enigmatic Irish producer and rapper.
As debuted live at Jameson Connects: The Circle stage during Sloucho’s set, Jobstown rapper jumps on a production from Sloucho with treated vocals and a big bass-dropping hyper rhythm.
The track is released today in conjunction with Jameson Ireland.

“As the title “gimme it” suggests, the track is about the idea of wanting more. I wrote it during a period when I was pushing myself to make music every single day, no matter how I was feeling. I was chasing the dragon of past successes, but instead of fulfillment, I mostly felt burnt out and disheartened about music. Everything shifted when Curtisy came on board. I realised what I (and, really, what everyone) is ultimately searching for: genuine human connection. The track came together over just a day or two, and in the process, the “more” I’d been chasing finally revealed itself: more happiness, more pride, more friends, and more music I can share with the world.”

“This collab with Sloucho was exactly what I needed, it feels so good to step into this world Sloucho has built and to find a way to fit into it. I was smiling the whole time we were creating and I’m still giddy every time I hear this track, if the reaction of the crowd at All Together Now is anything to go off then we might have ourselves a winner.”
