Grim Pickinz – troublesome tunes from Dublin and the UK
01. Kynz-Illa from Dublin and DateOne from Peterborough are the constituent parts of Amsterdam-based project GRIM PICKINZ.
02. December of 2014 saw the duo release The Troublesome Sound E.P. independently, and they’ve since been regulars both around Amsterdam’s venues and on guest appearances for Irish rappers and producers.

04. Comes to Broadsheet offices Karl’s den via the recommendation of Limerick beat dons The Unscene.
