The Original Rudeboys is a trio from Ireland that makes a style of music that blends acoustic instrumentals with hip-hop lyrics. Formed in Dublin in 2011, the group fills its songs with rhythmic acoustic guitar and ukulele arrangements set against adept rhymes that tend to focus on the trials and tribulations of life in Ireland. The Original Rudeboys released its debut LP This Life, in 2012, and the album would go on to preform extremely well on the Irish music charts, helping establish the group as one of the preeminent Irish acts of its generation.
