TRACK OF THE DAY: TEBI REX - IMTHEBEST

Independent Irish Alt Hip-Hop due Tebi Rex (Matt Ó and Max Zange) are back showcasing their top form with their latest release 'IMTHEBEST'.

“It's a delusional song because we're delusional people. We're artists, that's how we're supposed to be….”

With deep and prominent themes of self-awareness and escapism laced throughout, the duo revel in the joy and comedy of what it actually means to be an artist in your twenties. The pair's romantic ineptitude, lack of artistic success and personal failings are laid bare for the audience to enjoy. Adding in hints of Indie, Noughties dance, and pop rap influences to their hip-hop roots, they're continuing to keep their sound fresh.

Coming as one of the most exciting acts coming out of Ireland, they're creating a stit not just at home but overseas in the US and the UK. With high-energy shows, playful visuals, and an engaging social presence, the duo have been able to curate a strong and loyal fan base.

With young and powerful duo's like this leading the way, it's safe to say the scene is in safe hands.

LATEST FEATURES

DIGITAL COVER 003: LEGZDINA

On a crisp morning in Shoreditch, Legzdina brought the bold energy that defines her music and style. She discussed her debut EP, Celestial Girl and Her Milky Way, a fearless mix of drum’n’bass, sung-rap, and poetic storytelling. The project captures her journey as an artist forging her own path. In conversation, she reflected on the personal stories shaping her music, her community-focused open-mic series Say It Back, and her drive to inspire through art. With ethereal vocals and experimental production, she’s pushing boundaries while eyeing her next milestone - representing Latvia at Eurovision -all while staying true to her belief in individuality and connection.

DIGITAL COVER 002: FLIPTRIX

This album tells a story, and hearing the tales that led to its formation from Fliptrix himself was an honour. We caught up with the charismatic artist shortly before the release of ‘Dragonfly’, to discuss his father, the current state of UK Rap, psychedelics, social media & more.

DIGITAL COVER 001: CLOUD X

In the midst of their planning of this year’s festival, we sat down with Ben Cross and David Dabieh of Cloud X to discuss the business of live music events, the UK government, South London and their future plans, perhaps surmised when Dabieh explained; "One thing about Cloud X is that we didn't have this big plan, we just kept trying to be free".
