The Quarter Block Party returns to The Green Room at Cork Opera House with 2 shows
from up and coming Irish artists.
Craic Boi Mental – rapper, producer and activist from Cork City, with a knack for lo-fi production and
an innate ear for an inescapable hook.
His relentless work ethic and deeply idiosyncratic style have built him a Cult following worldwide. Now
he’s fresh off the back of his sold Out US tour & looking forward to performing once again for his Irish
fans.
Raja Baal is the alternative hip hop project of Cork-based artist/producer Brendan Fennessy. The
project came into being when Fennessy sent stream-of-consciousness drum recordings to friends
with the single instruction to record whatever they wanted on top. The results were a striking palette of
fuzzy, blown-out funk, baroque pop, jazz, afrobeat and psychedelic soul.
Fennessy’s vocal approach alternates between rapping, singing and spoken word, with lyrics that set
out to deconstruct the limiting security blanket of coolness which often surrounds male artists/bands –
instead pushing toward presenting a bright, connective and inviting energy.
Fennessy continues to work on new music at his studio in Cork. His debut single ‘I’m Not the Greatest
(I’m the Okayest)’ is available now, accompanied by a music video directed by Dublin-based visual
artist Julie Weber.
