The world's favourite Irish party kids Kabin Crew are back with a double single, "Kabin Party / Belter," out now via Rubyworks.
The release comes hot on the heels of their breakout track, "The Spark," which took home the 2024 Song of the Year award at the RTÉ Choice Music Prize and has racked up over 2 billion views on social media, along with millions of streams.
"Kabin Party," a drum and bass banger harnessing the collective's community spirit, features their now-signature playful lyrics: "Pepperoni pizza, loads of sweets, got beats and everybody's rapping." The second track, "Belter," picks up where "Kabin Party" leaves off and spotlights the talents of 16-year-old Coben, a.k.a. "Sparky," who's been rapping for half his life.
Both songs were created through the Kabin Studio's weekly rap workshops, where local youth collaborate on original music at the non-profit space in Cork. According to founder Garry McCarthy, Kabin Studio aims to build confidence and community through creative collaboration and opportunities.
In a press release, McCarthy shared, "The Kabin has grown out of a love for hip hop, songwriting, performance and building confidence within young people."
