Press
"Boiler Room has shared an engrossing new mini-documentary tracing Ireland’s burgeoning underground hip-hop scene."
"If you’d rather stay in, you could do worse than to watch a new Boiler Room documentary, Soft Boy, about the booming underground hip hop scene in Ireland (I’m serious). The film follows Dublin-based record label and artist collective, Soft Boy Records, which was launched by rapper Kojaque after being told by labels and managers that his accent would be viewed as a “gimmick”."
"Irish hip hop: self expression in a changing nation."
"It’s an interesting watch. No doubt the collective are currently at the creative helm for some of the nation’s most vibrant art."
"Here are all the winners of the 2019 Webby Awards"
