Dublin rapper Rejjie Snow has announced he’ll release his next album PEACE 2 DA WORLD next month.
Details of the Irish star’s third album emerge after he returned in July with the Kaytranada-produced single ‘All Night’, the first material since his 2021 record Baw Baw Black Sheep.
“It’s a worldly album, sonically & emotionally. I’m a nomadic person so this is my soundtrack to those days & the places I roamed,” said Rejjie of the album – which arrives on October 25.
“On this album I’m speaking to my favourite person in the world and this is the first time I’ve made something for someone specifically. I like working this way because I was forced to honour & challenge myself in ways I’ve never done so before.”
Now, the latest taste of that album comes in the song ‘Karen’ – which sees him take tongue-in-cheek aim at a very modern stereotype.
“This record was a reactionary one. Most times we’re misunderstood by people & without being judgmental about it I wanted to approach this new age phenomena of Karen’s in a light hearted and fun way,” he said.
“I’m not big on making a point of things so literally especially when it has to be catchy, this is just me and how I approach art.”
