(Ireland {Republic})
Dublin-born, Sierra Leonean rapper Ahmed, With Love. has been quietly carving out a niche whilst also announcing himself as one of the UK and Ireland’s most captivating and distinctive artists. Sitting somewhere between the coming-of-age humour of Napoleon Dynamite, the theatrics of semi-professional wrestling, the mosh aesthetics of Paris Texas and the wordplay of MF Doom, the intoxicating MC oxymoronically blends off-kilter flows and an explosive stage presence with a breezy, nonchalance that is reflective of his own personality – something that manages to manifest itself in every project he works on.
Regularly collaborating with fellow artists Rory Sweeney, Curtisy, EMBY, E The Artist and Julia Louise Knifefist, Ahmed, With Love. is part of a blossoming creative community in Dublin that is breathing new life into existing aesthetics through their forward-thinking and silly-yet-serious nature.
