When you think of Irish music your brain might not go straight to hip-hop. But in the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day we’re taking a gander at a rapper straight out of Dublin. Going by the name Kojaque, this young up-and-comer’s been building up his reputation as a lyricist thanks to his effortless, in-the-pocket flow, colloquial rhyme style, and choice of cadence over jazz-inspired beats.
Keep an eye on the horizon for Kojaque’s debut album in the near future, teased most recently with his latest single (and music video) that reckons with the loss of Kojaque’s father and puts you into a melancholy state with its moody instrumental, on “No Hands”.
