Mabfield

Bestie szn activated! 3 of the best rappers in the whole damn country came through for the last episode of the series. This is the kind of conversation I love. It's as silly as it is #Deep and cause they're all genuinely friends it made for a nice lil back n forth. KhakiKid is blowing up atm off the back off his new EP, Ahmed, with love. had an amazing 12 months with his debut project and run of performances and Curtisy was nominated for the RTE Choice Prize album of the year alongside the likes of Fontaines D.C. So, it was a great time to catch all three of them in their element. We spoke about their artistic process and how despite their success, imposter syndrome doesn't discriminate and it's something they still wrestle with.

A couple of weeks ago i put up a tiktok about Ireland having a disproportionate impact on global pop culture given the size of its population. It got a pretty mad reaction so I decided to get two sound heads on to talk about it. Why is there such an affinity for Irish culture right now? Is it just the neat guinness drinking, sexy sad boy, fontaines loving conception of what it is to be irish that's palatable to huge swathes of people? Or is there something deeper going on and is a new wave of talent breaking new ground in never before seen ways?Shout out to RiRa for sponsoring this season of the podcast - https://www.ri-ra.beer/Shout out to WHIPITCONALL on making the jingle for the podcast check him out here: Instagram.com/whipitconall Follow me:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/deeeemurph/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@deeeemurphFollow Lucinda GrahamInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/lucindalohan/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@cher4president?lang=enFollow Saul Duffin:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/itsaullovin/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@itsaulok?lang=en Hosted on Acast.

Today's episode features a guest I've wanted to have on for a long time. Noel Watson is one of Ireland and Belfast's most successful and innovative DJs and producers. He's walked for Comme Des Garçons with Jean-Michel Basquiat, DJ'd for the Beastie Boys, chopped it up with Rick Rubin and even was once given a Def Jam jacket by the hip hop trio. Living in London in the 80s with his brother, together they threw some of the most iconic illegal warehouse parties the city has ever seen and had guests like Sade, The Clash and more. Whether he meant it or not, Noel always seemed to be in the right place at the right time. Real heads will of course be familiar with this music legend, but in my eyes despite arguably being one of the most influential and successful names in music, art and culture to come out of Belfast, he’s sometimes overlooked in the history books. So I was buzzing to chat with him and give him the flowers he deserves 🌺 Shout out to RiRa for sponsoring this season of the podcast - https://www.ri-ra.beer/Shout out to WHIPITCONALL on making the jingle for the podcast check him out here: Instagram.com/whipitconall Follow me:Instagram - / https://www.instagram.com/deeeemurph/TikTok - / https://www.tiktok.com/@deeeemurphFollow Noel WatsonInstagram - / https://www.instagram.com/noelwatson_97/ Hosted on Acast.

Next Up we have Brian Cross AKA B+. Brian is one of the most important photographers & Filmmakers in hip hop, period. He's worked with Biggie Smalls, J Dilla, Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, Lauryn Hill and even once told me that MF DOOM shared his studio for a while. Brian actually grew up in Limerick, before getting a degree in NCAD in Dublin and moving to California in 1990 to attend California Institute of the Arts. It was here he became immersed in hip hop culture as it was beginning to really blossom and his professor Mike Davis encouraged him to combine his interest in politics, hip hop and photography and eventually Brian published ‘It’s Not About A Salary - Rap and Resistance in LA’. It featured conversations and photos of Dr Dre, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, Cypress hill and more and was one of the first books documenting west coast hip hopIf you look close enough brian’s imprint is everywhere. Hip Hop Heads will no doubt be familiar with DJ Shadow’s Entroducing, the album is in the guinness world book of records for being the first record to be made completely out of samples. The iconic artwork shows producer Chief Xcel and rapper Lyrics Born digging for records and was of course shot by Brian.In this episode we talk about his new film about The Supremes which is shot in Ireland, his legendary documentary Brasilintime and working with legends like Madlib.Make sure to subscribe it helps a lot ❤️Shout out to RiRa for sponsoring this season of the podcast - https://www.ri-ra.beer/Shout out to WHIPITCONALL on making the jingle for the podcast check him out here: / whipitconall Shout out to DryLane Studios for letting us use their spaceFollow me:https://www.tiktok.com/@deeeemurphhttps://www.instagram.com/mabfield/Follow Brian:https://instagram.com/bpleasel Hosted on Acast.
