As you can gather from the title, here are seven of the best new Irish tracks that you need to hear.

cbakl - Memories Fade (ft. Nealo, Local Boy and Lacuna)

One of Ireland's most consistent hip-hop producers, cbakl brought together an all-star cast for his four song EP Where Do We Go?

Nealo's line about Fijian golfer Vijay Singh is undoubtedly one of the bars of the year.
