Fynch
As Irish hip-hop continues to blossom with each passing year, artists like Fynch are beginning to come to the fore for national and international audiences. Combining cutting social commentary with self-deprecation and a healthy dose of braggadocio via obscure footballer references, FYNCH is an Irish hip-hop artist whose star is steadily rising.
FYNCH has been releasing music since mid-2017, taking inspiration from a variety of Irish and international artists including The Streets, Republic Of Loose, Kendrick Lamar and Outkast. FYNCH co-founded the record label Burner Records in 2018 alongside ARBU, Local Boy, Marcus Woods and Muttonhead.
The Drimnagh rapper released his first EP – Bookies Pens & Loose Ends – in October 2019 to acclaim. Since then, Fynch has had a consistent release schedule, collaborating with the likes of Local Boy, 49th & Main, Gaptoof and Willhouse.
2023 saw the return of the Drimnagh MC, with the release of singles ‘Ceilings’, ‘Now Do A Silly One!’, ‘Main Road Woes’ as well as ‘Uncut Gems’, a collaboration with Odd Numbers.
Fynch’s debut album ‘Youngfella’ was released to acclaim on March 1st 2024 and he featured at Ireland Music Week in October 2024, where he was selected by Dermot Kennedy to play at MISNEACH Festival for St Patrick’s Day 2025 in Boston and Sydney.
