CMU Approved
Approved: Tebi Rex
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 18 June 2020
Tebi Rex – aka rappers Max Zanga and Matt Ó – are among the acts making moves to bring Dublin’s thriving rap scene to the wider world. Shoring up the alternative hip hop end of the market, the duo balance just the right mix of humour and pathos to draw you right down into their world.
Their debut album from last year, ‘The Young Will Eat The Old’, is filled with tracks that show them as serious contenders for international acclaim – such as ‘I Never Got Off The Bus’. A sync on recent BBC hit ‘Normal People’ for that very track hasn’t done them any harm either.
Now they return with their second new single of 2020 – following last month’s ‘White Boy Of The Month’ – titled ‘I Got My Whole’. “This is a song about sex”, say the duo bluntly. But, hey, aren’t all songs, when you really think about it? There’s more to it than just that though, and it all wafts in on Rocky O’Reilly’s daydreamy production.
A new mixtape, completed after COVID-19 put all other plans on hold, is set for release this summer. Watch the video for ‘I Got My Whole’ here:
