Malaki is one of Ireland’s most prolific and fast-rising rappers. Bursting onto the scene in January 2019 with the powerful spoken-word epic “Call Us By Our Names”, the young Dubliner has been carving out his place in Irish hip-hop ever since. Ma!aki has been an eye-witness to the steady disenfranchisement of Irish youth, a theme frequently probed in his bruising, brutally honest debut EP, ‘Butterfly Boy’
Malaki synthesises a rich and original interpretation of Dublin life, seamlessly fusing personal expression with piercing social and political commentary. Songs like ‘Cuppa Tea’ and ‘Cavalier’ display an ability to conceive tongue-in-cheek lyrics injected with an air of self-aware braggadocio whereas ‘Paper Prophecies’ exposed the introspective more unsure underbelly of a wordsmith at the forefront of his craft. Someone Like You 2 saw him putting a modern day twist in his version of the Van Morrison classic.
His Workmans Club show includes first time performances of recent releases including ‘Most Days’ ‘Long Face’ and the soon to be released ‘Pasta’
