Outstraight Records present the UK hip-hop act Dirty Dike for his Dublin and Ireland debut show.
The Dublin rap collective Outstraight have been dropping some Irish rap heaters of late, and they do a fine line in bringing over the best of the UK underground rap for shows and collaborating with them too (previous guest Four Owls‘ Verb T just released ‘Adrenaline’ a new song with Outstraight’s Beano with a video featuring a Phibsborough Dublin landmark).
Later this month, they are at it again bringing over UK rapper Dirty Dike for his debut Dublin show alongside cohort Sammy B-Side to the Bernard Shaw on Saturday February 28th.
The alternative hip-hop rapper is a superior rhyme spitter and producer with five albums including 2013’s Return of the Twat, 2105’s Sucking on Prawns in the Moonlight & 2023’s Mattress, alongside numerous features with everyone from The Four Owls, Chester P, Dabbla to Eva Lazarus and The Mouse Outfit.
Dirty Dike is on the roster of Fliptrix’s High Focus Records alongside Verb T, The Four Owls, Ocean Wisdom and early Rag’n’Bone Man releases.
Support for the main show will come from the Outstraight Records roster, with special guests.
