MC Bradshaw and producer Taaffeman make up the Dublin hip-hop duo Dusty Residents.
The duo released a debut album Seabury Heights in 2012 and this year they’ll release a new album entitled Orbits in April.
The album’s first single ‘Wanted’ is a low-slung slice of trip-hop-style pristine rap about a girl’s desire for validation and acceptance.
It comes with a video directed by Jonathan Lambert (who is responsible for this Collie video) and produced by Alan Newman, who released a fine album with Funzo earlier this year.
