Aaron Lawlor deals in disillusionment rap, and business is booming. Taking influence from hip-hop, drill and his favourite post-punk bands, the underdog mentality is in full swing on the Dublin rapper’s new single ‘Learn It’. He spits with an honesty and conviction that separates him from his peers, as he pours his own autobiographical detail into the mix. His subject matter reflects on life’s struggles with loneliness, work, and money - told through the filter of hazy flows and silky-smooth beats.

Lawlor is a welcome addition to the Irish music scene, reminiscent of Kojaque’s recent tracks around Dublin’s social issues (think ‘Town’s Dead’ via Loyle Carner). Aaron Lawlor’s fierce independent spirit permeates through his storytelling of life in the city and the grind that entails - “It’s a track about struggling with money and the loneliness around moving away. It's about working nearly everyday just to afford to live with very little luxuries. It's about how people work like this their whole life and how I want to get out of this work-5-days 2-days-off type of lifestyle and hopefully achieve something better.“
