Costello & 4Real

4real

‘Scurry, who established workin’ class records ten years ago initially to release ‘homemade bomb mixtape’, a compilation of tracks from rappers from all over Ireland including Lunatic. Workin’ Class Records now represents acts like William Lee, Costello, DJ Moschops, 4Real, GI and Ryan Lincoln and Ger Kellett of 5th Element, producing and recording their albums and videos. The Working Class artists in recent years have supported Kanye West, Wu Tang Clan, Snoop and Nas. However many of the local boys in the area would name local artist Lunatic, who tragically died of natural causes due to a heart condition in 2009, as their rap hero. As a tribute, Lunatic’s close friends Costello and GI wrote and recorded a homage to Lunatic with ‘Put your L’s up’. The L sign hand gesture in Ballymun remains a symbol of love and respect to Lunatic and a memorial to his un-timely passing.’ Words R.P. Dazed Digital.
