Obviously you can't talk about Irish Hip Hop without mentioning Kneecap of course, who have taken the world by storm with their new movie and album "Fine Art". Other worthwhile mentions are Curtisy and Rejjie Snow, who have climbed their way up the charts and have been rising in fame. Ireland is so rich in Hip Hop, Rap and R&B culture if you know where to look, and there's no better place to start than Steamboat Music!
