00:00It's only the natural way to go, to be honest, you know what I mean, just sounds that are
00:08like just indigenous to this country and I think it's more interesting to have something
00:12that's kind of jagged and kind of, you know, hearing a rapper go on a beat that's not your
00:18usual kind of hip-hop beat, so like literally the Irish accent obviously goes perfect on
00:26it because we've been doing this music for a long time, do you know what I mean, so yeah
00:31it just works out perfectly really.
00:56You don't have to know the best fiddle player from, you know, this village, you can find
01:07something, deal with it, sample it in a really like old school sample-y kind of way but then
01:13make it very new school by making it choppy and odd sounding and adding your own elements
01:20to it, that's the feeling I want to get, I want to be able to have people feel like,
01:28yeah, that they're being reminded of something from a very ancient past, even if they're
01:33hearing something that sounds very modern.
01:50I don't want to be at that level, I don't want to be myself, but I want to be, you know,
01:56the recognition of Irish hip-hop, you know, to be accepted.
