Dublin rapper JyellowL is set to solidify his place in the Irish music landscape as he announces his upcoming headline show in Dublin’s Soundhouse on May 17, 2024. The announcement is accompanied with news of new music and visuals to mark the 1 year anniversary of last year’s “Shades of Yellow” EP. Tickets for the Painting The City Yellow show go on sale Friday, March 29 at 10AM and are available from www.eventbrite.com
The Painting The City Yellow show slated for May 17 coincides with the 1 year anniversary of JyellowL’s 2023 EP “Shades of Yellow”. JyellowL plans to mark the occasion with the release of a video for single ‘Stepped In’ featuring Kamakaze on April 5. The headline show announcement also triggers the release of brand new single ‘Rizzlas’ on April 19. This follows the success of JyellowL’s recent single ‘Judas’ featuring stunning vocals from Toshin and his appearance as one of Ireland’s Eurosong finalists on The Late Late Show in January 2024.
JyellowL also plans to release a video to accompany ‘Judas’ on May 1, 2024. ‘Judas’ became a song of inspiration, a battle cry for facing down adversity, and it makes sense for the Dublin rapper to honour its impact with accompanying visuals. Whether it’s negativity, roadblocks, or toxic relationships, ‘Judas’ challenges listeners to rise above the shadows and stay true to their vision. “It’s about pushing forward, no matter what life throws at you,” shares JyellowL. “Judas might knock you down, but you get back up, stronger and wiser.” A powerful anthem of resilience ‘Judas’ is co-produced by two music titan veterans: Jake Gosling, whose Midas touch has graced albums by Ed Sheeran, One Direction, and Sam Smith, and Sammy SoSo, the mastermind behind Tyla’s chart-topping smash ‘Water’.
JyellowL learned from his Jamaican grandmother how to be himself in a world that wants to force you down a particular path. Born of Jamaican and Nigerian parents and raised in Ireland, the 25 year old rapper has drawn on all three origins to create a distinctly powerful sound that is radically individual.
JyellowL, dynamic in his lyricism and fueled by political conviction, delivered his highly anticipated debut album Bulletproof in 2020, with the first single ‘JeweLs’. A leading voice emerging out of the fierce juggernaut that is Ireland’s rap scene, this debut follows two groundbreaking EP’s and a string of headline performances, both in Ireland and internationally.
His standout track ‘Ozone’ has surpassed 3 million streams on Spotify and the single ‘Oh Lawd’ has already surpassed 2 million streams. A self-driven artist and entrepreneur, his newly established JyellowL Records Ltd quickly landed a distribution deal with the international distribution company IDOL.
Following the resounding success of his debut album, JyellowL has taken his musical journey to new heights. The album’s commercial triumph, coupled with tours alongside industry giants like Nelly, The Game, and De La Soul, solidified his status as an artist on the rise. His music has found its place in popular culture, with placements on notable platforms such as EA Sports’ FIFA soundtrack, Hulu’s original series ‘Normal People’, and collaborations with global telecom provider Virgin Media.
