Dublin-based rapper Curtisy has quickly established himself as one of the leaders of a new wave in Irish hip-hop alongside his collaborators Ahmed, with Love, Rory Sweeney, and hikii. With inspirations like Wiki and Earl Sweatshirt, he has carved a niche for himself as an expropriator of vibrant and lush abstract hip hop, with live shows showing a DIY punk charisma and energy. His second album Beauty in the Beast came out in May 2025.
