With an air of celebration and defiance, Bless and Sello join forces for the first time on ‘Hello‘ — a high-stakes, head-turning release that feels less like an introduction and more like a power move.
Marking Bless’s first release since his chart-smashing debut album ‘Vice City’, which landed Top 10 on the Official Irish Charts and #1 on the Independent Irish Charts, the single arrives as a crisp, calculated evolution. Teaming up with Sello, the Clondalkin-born cultural catalyst behind Gaelic Drill, the track is razor-sharp in delivery, yet effortlessly cool in tone — a balance only two artists at the peak of their form could pull off.
Laced with rhythmic flexes and lyrical finesse, ‘Hello‘ finds its power not just in punchlines but in presence. It’s the kind of record that feels lived-in — two artists rapping from the other side of resilience, riding momentum, legacy and clarity into a new season.
“As some of Ireland’s only rap artists to debut albums in the Official Irish Charts Top 10, we knew this is a sound that not only the creative scene, but the country as a whole needs,” says Bless. “This is the first time Sello and I have come together on a song — and I don’t think there’s a better way to cap off the Irish summer than this.”
And the timing couldn’t be better. Sello’s sophomore album, ‘Sell Out’, released June 20, marks a raw and reflective chapter in the career of an artist who’s already shifted the narrative around Irish rap.
As the first Irish rapper to chart Top 10 with his debut (Sellotape), and now backed by Atlantic Records and Warner Music Ireland, Sello’s ascent has been nothing short of game-changing. His signature — fusing Irish trad samples with drill — has become the pulse of a generation redefining identity on their own terms.
Bless, meanwhile, is riding high off the impact of ‘Vice City’ — a moody, cinematic project soaked in neon-lit nostalgia and personal truth. With its conceptual layers and sharp cultural positioning, the project announced his arrival not just as a rapper, but a visionary.
Together, the duo feels like lightning in a bottle. ‘Hello’ is more than a single — it’s a cultural checkpoint. The sound of two artists who have built their own lanes, now side by side, cruising into a new frontier.
