WALLFELLA

Few artists capture the complexities of working-class life and modern struggles as powerfully as Wallfella, a Northside Dublin rapper unafraid to speak the hard truths. A proud product of O’Devaney Gardens, Wallfella has become a singular voice in Irish Hip-Hop and R&B, blending raw authenticity with evolving musical innovation. His work channels the challenges and triumphs of working-class life into emotionally charged tracks that resonate far beyond his community. Known for his "candid and non-apologetic approach to lyricism" (Wordplay Magazine), Wallfella’s music tackles themes of mental health, toxic relationships, and systemic injustice with steadfast honesty.

​

Recognised as “one of the most captivating voices in Irish Hip-Hop," Wallfella has become a defining figure in the growing Irish Hip-Hop scene, blending influences from Kendrick Lamar, Larry June, and Tyler, The Creator with a distinctly Dublin edge. His breakout 2020 album The North’s Face, featuring the anthem “Devaney Flow,” solidified his reputation as a storyteller with a sharp eye for detail. Rooted in Hip-Hop but unbound by genre, his sound has grown to incorporate elements of R&B, funk, and electronic music, as showcased in recent tracks like "No Chords" and "Smooth Wirreh."

​

Wallfella’s forthcoming EP, The Coop is Full (slated for early-mid 2025), promises to further cement his place as an artist pushing creative boundaries. Singles from the EP have already garnered significant attention, with The Word is Bond praising his "distinct flow and layered songwriting skill" and ExtravaFrench hailing "Smooth Wirreh" as “an intense and disarming dance between introspection and musical energy.” With this project, Wallfella continues to explore deeply personal struggles, set against innovative production that reflects his growth as both a lyricist and a performer.

​

A cornerstone of Wallfella’s artistry is his ability to collaborate while maintaining his unique perspective. His ongoing work with producer Hikii and labelmate Flynn Johnson has led to standout tracks such as "MULA" and Curtisy's "Tree Sap (Remix’d)." His dynamic live performances, including festival appearances at All Together Now and Body and Soul, further demonstrate his ability to connect with audiences. A regular collaborator with Nealo, Wallfella has shared stages at major events and appeared on Nealo’s episode of "At the Bunker," where his charismatic presence and emotional delivery left a lasting impression.

​

Wallfella’s music also reflects his commitment to addressing larger societal issues. Tracks like “Step Back,” a collaboration with Odd Numbers, critique Ireland’s political and social climate with the same unapologetic approach that defines his work. Expanding on this creative synergy, “Love Me, Hate Me” delved into the complexities of toxic relationships, navigating emotional turmoil with a mix of vulnerability and defiance. The Lions Ground praised Wallfella’s performance, writing, “Wallfella breathes life into the words, evoking a range of emotions within the listener.” His ability to navigate themes of societal struggle and personal resilience has made him a vital voice in Irish music.

​

Aligned with Golden Éire Records, Wallfella is at the forefront of a new wave of Irish artists reshaping the global perception of Hip-Hop and R&B. His music amplifies the voices and experiences of his community while establishing him as a trailblazer with universal appeal. As anticipation mounts for his forthcoming EP, The Coop is Full, Wallfella is poised to become a global ambassador for Ireland’s Hip-Hop and R&B scenes.
