Friday 25th April marked a momentous day in the careers of the IRS. The group, who released their phenomenal debut album ‘The World Is Theirs’ late last year, where up against a number of other notable artists for the title of ‘Best Hip Hop Act’.
You may have not heard about the Indy Music Awards but IRS have been nominated by the Primrose [a lively pub in Leeds that they played at]. There doesn't seem to be that many hip hop artists in the runnings, so if the IRS get the votes in they might get short listed for the errrr.... *cough* 'Urban Music Award'.
Intelligent Rhyme Styles, Impossible Rendered Simple, In Record Stores, Intricate Rhyme Schemes, I Recommend Strongly, I’m Rarely Sober, It’s Really Something… However you wish to extend the acronym, The IRS are a five strong crew from South London who provide a mixture of lyrical flare, bass heavy beats, intelligent and original subject matter and cocksure charisma.

The IRS are definitely taxing heads with their heavy The World Is Theirs CD. Is is full of boombastic styles and is set to impress heavily as the six man deep crew step it up to the next level. The CD is 17 tracks in length and is undoubtedly fire. The crew hails from South East London and is comprised of Ed Strong, Random Deviation, King Kaiow, Superb and DJ Guide One.
Manage is a heavyweight MC. We remember him from his Early Life Crisis and work with Def-Con and he has always been on the more conscious side of Hip Hop spitting meaningful lyrics with consummate ease. For the last year or so he has been one of the organisers of, and the main host for the Speakers Corner nights which go off in Brixton and have been proving themselves to get the best talent down there for some action packed nights.
