With producer Deviant & Naive Ted the rappers have worked on a recorded version of โA Beauty Named Shannonโ with added guitar and fiddle from Ian Lynch and Cormac MacDiarmada from Dublin folk group Lynched.
โA Beauty Named Shannonโ deals with the critical regularity of suicide, and attempted suicide in the Shannon waters. In three distinct musical movements, rappers Size, Hazey Haze and MCB take their turns to articulate the consequences of these desperate decisions.
โSo the next time youโre standing on the edge of a bridge
Embrace the wind blowing between you face and your fringe
โJust take a second to think, that fate reckons you sink
And go sailing with the waves because youโre wrecked on drink
โAnd I know man, that everybody seems to call them selfish
But there is no human in the world that can make themselves fishโ
The powerful video was made by Steve Savage and special thanks is noted for Karen Keehan and Limerick Marine Search & Rescue who made possible the parts of the video filmed on the Shannon River.
The rap trio from St. Maryโs Park showed a lot of promise on their debut at 2014โs Make A Move Hip Hop Festival. In July 2015 they released the impressive โBasic Instinctโ EP. โA Beauty Named Shannonโ signifies another major leap forward for SameD4ence.
