“It’s about being proud of where you’re from as well and representing that. We’re very proud of being Dubliners, but we’re also very proud of being Irish people and we feel we have a voice and we want to represent that. It’s not just for the sake of it. We do this because we love it and we love where we’re from. We don’t feel we have to be ashamed.”

Among the most popular up-and-coming music acts in Ireland, Mango and Mathman took over The Takeover tonight.

The grime and hip-hop duo have been causing a stir with their underground beats for the last few years after initially emerging from hip-hop collective The Animators.

As Ireland's hip-hop and rap appetite reaches insatiable levels, Mango and Mathman's grittiness is palpable, their energy infectious, their relatability tangible.

They don't only speak to Dublin City - , they speak to a young Ireland, they raise important issues, they gain inspiration from what surrounds them in Dublin.

Their album is due out later this year.
