Boss Level Part Three
Literally a whole new level
Alan Newman writes:
Back in November 2013 we released a Music video called ‘Boss level‘ that featured eight rappers from across Ireland. It was the start of big things for Irish Hip Hop and its development.
In April 2014 we released Boss level part Two which features Irish alongside two heavyweight UK MC’s in an effort to broaden the audience of the project. This lead to a TV spot on RTE2’s Twotube, FM104’s Open Mic, plus three slots at Electric Picnic and many more
Part Three features 90’s USA Hip Hop legend & member of the super group ‘Jurassic 5‘, ‘Akil The MC’. Akil stands alongside seven other Irish Rapper’s to further push the boundaries of the Irish presence among the international Hip Hop stage.
Any feedback welcome.
Has potential.
Could do with a bit more about smacking b***hes around the place and getting ***k sucked by the local ho.
How can yis get it so wrong?
Here, this is decent Irish hip hop. Its taken seriously as a continuation of our oral heritgae.

Don’t be threatened or anything, they’ve been going for 10 years.
Nice. But I’m 2 months off the toot and listening to that there has just set me back about 7 weeks.
Seen GI & Costello supporting Talib Kweli at the Sugar Club.
Bought a CD but haven’t listened to it because they were s**** & boring.
I bet only bought the CD because either GI or Costello sorted you out with a bit of smoke for the gig
Siyo Young, Dublin’s best kept secret. Until now. His back catalogue is top drawer stuff.
+100 :-)
without actually listening to the words , i thought collie was by far the best.
Great to see local lads working with an international legend like Akil the Mc from J5 (probably my fav hiphop group of all time) and a great looking video from the Lambert fella
Really enjoyed that video. Deadly beats, but I think Collie nailed it best
I am super picky when it comes to hip hop/rap and when I see Alan Newman, Jonathan Lambert and crew involved I automatically get excited to see their work. They get top class musicians involved and are all such great people. Also Collie not only is a talent in his own performance but he masters a lot of the work and the work of other acts like an act I saw tonight being pushed by IMRO and Hotpress called Lethal Dialect. This whole Boss Level team are the top standard for irish hip hop / rap for me
The Irish accent, and turn of phrase, lends well to Hip Hop and Rap..
I love the banter in the DFI rap battles. Anything goes. But time and place lads. The lyric about Your Ma’s Clit in this video sticks out like a sore clit.
