Earlier this year, the Tallaght rapper Curtisy released the debut album What Was The Question? one of the finest Irish rap albums, nay, Irish albums of the year.
With a Deluxe version of the album out now, I spoke to Gavin Curtis aka Curtisy about starting out rapping in 2021 and meeting Ahmed, With Love and making their first song 'Men On A Mission' in 2022 with Rory Sweeney. Curtisy has a prolific output, and we discuss his many collaborators (Ahmed, With Love makes a brief appearance too), valuing vulnerability and authenticity in your music and discuss the Irish music he loves including music from Sloucho, Lil Skag, EFÉ, Bricknasty, Rory Sweeney / Carlos Danger and of course, Ahmed, With Love; plus what comes next in 2025.
Curtisy Tour dates:
Saturday 16th November – The Black Box, Belfast
Wednesday 20th November – The Workman’s Club, Dublin
