Prolific Irish producer Rory Sweeney has an Irish hip-hop mixtape under the pseudonym Carlos Danger, coming this Friday May 17th called Irish Hash Mafia, “a celebration of Irish rap from Belfast, to Mullingar, to Tallaght and beyond.”
It features a host of tracks with Curtisy, E The Artist, Owin, Ahmed, With Love; Yeire13, Lonely Chap and more.
Previously-featured ‘Pull Up’ with Emby and Keanu The Pilot is on it, as is this new one ‘Roma Chipper Loughlinstown’, featuring Smokey and Jobstown man of the moment, Curtisy. The beat is crazy, like MF DOOM’s ‘One Beer’
A live Irish Hash Mafia show is also happening on Sunday 26th May at Button Factory featuring:
- MOONCUP
- Curtisy Live Set
- Tony Bontana Live Set
- IHM Album Live
- Grime Cypher – Rory Sweeney B2B MOONCUP + IHM MC’s
“Irish Hash Mafia mixtape is a love letter to the DIY sound and ethos of 90s Southern Hip Hop, as well as a time capsule of the left field DIY sounds being explored by the Irish underground. Myself and a lot of the artists here are starting to get caught up in the cogs of the music industry and I think its important to put out this mixtape as an archive of the free spirited sounds we’ve been exploring together over the past 2-3 years. The mixtape, While primarily being southern trap, also explores other fringe sounds, such as experimental grime and abstract hip hop amongst others. Heavily inspired and indebted to Tommy Wright iii, Princess Loko, Ten Wanted Men, Lil Noid, DJ Paul, Lo Key, Lil Yo, SpaceGhostPurpp, Lil Ugly Mane, Shawty Pimp, too many to even list here. Their groundbreaking art, attitude and disregard for the music industry is an endless inspiration and I would encourage everyone to dig deep into this beautiful sound. Youtube channels such as Psychopathicsavage and SouldjahFromTheNorth have done an incredible job archiving the tape only releases from the time.”
