TPM (Fuck RTÉ: Song Dissection)

In episode two, we're delighted to feature the Dundalk rap duo "making unemployment sexy again" - TPM. Since 2015, brothers Charles and Andrew Hendy been making funny, insightful, very Irish hip hop together, influenced by anxiety, depression and life on the dole. Last year they released the explicitly excellent single FUCK RTE and Danny Carroll visited the brothers in their Louth abode to learn more about the song. The episode also features some insights from their producer David Noonan (Just Mustard/Larry) credited here as DJ Chronic Lower Back Pain, with Charles and Andrew talking about how the song evolved, what it means to them and why, above all else, they hate Joe Duffy.

Songs featured:

1. Fuck RTÉ

2. Strictly For My Jeeps (Instrumental) - Action Bronson

3. Cash In The Claw

4. All The Boys On The Dole

5. Eat That Curry

6. Nuthin' But A G Thang - Dr. Dre
