Dublin rapper Graham, a standout in Ireland’s hip-hop scene, has just released his highly anticipated sophomore album, "FACTS". Produced entirely in collaboration with longtime partner Hikii, this 11-track project showcases Graham's lyrical dexterity, intricate penmanship, and dynamic, soulful productions.

Since his emergence in 2019, Graham has built a robust discography marked by impactful singles and his debut project, "Irish Gold", released in March 2023. Known for his introspective and potent lyrics, punchy writing, and sharp wit, Graham has forged a deep connection with audiences both through his recorded music and live performances. His live portfolio is impressive, featuring shows at The Sugar Club, support slots with Fliptrix (High Focus Records), and festival appearances with his crew, Outstraight Records, at All Together Now.

"FACTS" is rich with collaborations from notable Irish artists, including Becky McNeice, Hugh Hempner, and Ellen Lyons.

McNeice's luscious melodies and poetic lyricism create the perfect backdrop for Graham's introspective rhymes and smooth flows. The track explores the complexities of relationships, offering a lens of reflection that resonates deeply with listeners.

"Falling" is emblematic of the album's essence, combining chilled hip-hop vibes with modern sensibilities. McNeice's vocals elevate the track, blending seamlessly with Graham’s verses to produce a powerful and introspective piece. Another highlight is "Canvas", also featuring McNeice, which showcases Graham's knack for creating music that feels both nostalgic and contemporary.

Ellen Lyons and Hugh Hempner further enrich the album with their contributions, adding layers of depth to Graham’s already multifaceted sound. These collaborations underscore Graham’s commitment to inclusivity and artistic vision, making "FACTS" a collective triumph.
