Irish rapper has shared his new single ‘That’s Gonna Be Me’.
Out now, the single follows recent one-off release ‘antihistamine’, and it allows Kojaque to build on the impact of his celebrated album ‘PHANTOM OF THE AFTERS’.
Pushing back against political darkness, ‘That’s Gonna Be Me’ is a hard-hitting return, with Kojaque shouting down “ignorant and divisive voices” while aiming to add his own brand of positivity.
He comments…
“There’s been a strategic amplification of ignorant and divisive voices, and I want to drown them out. I want to be just as loud as they are. Apathy feels like the path of least resistance, until one day you find yourself somewhere very bleak. That’s not how I wanna go out. I might not have all the answers, but I’ve got the right attitude.”
Out now via Soft Boy Records, Kojaque helms the remarkable video himself – creating and animating 127 individually printed frames featuring his own face on fake banknotes to achieve its stop-motion effects, it’s a unique creative endeavour.
“I feel flattened by the modern world. Everything feels grim and relentless and too much of everything all the time,” he says. “The best way I know how to respond is through art and music and writing. That’s how I feel like I can make a difference. Life is too important to let it just slip by, the future is too important and I’m not gonna just sit around until it’s too late.”
Tune in now.
Alongside the release, Kojaque has confirmed plans for his biggest headline tour to date, taking in 17 dates across the UK, Ireland and Europe in March 2027. The shows include a landmark evening at London’s KOKO on St Patrick’s Day and Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre. Tickets go on general sale from Wednesday (November 18th) at 10am GMT.
