Limerick viral star Lynchy keeps it steady in the rap game

Co Limerick teenager Lynchy hopes to build on his YouTube success, writes Eoghan O’Sullivan

IT’S the little things that make a difference, that show your songs have made an impact, that you’re going places. Jack Lynch hasn’t really gone anywhere yet, but the 18-year-old rapper from Ballyneety, Co Limerick, is gleefully getting a kick from small things like a bouncer at a club — “where everyone would have a hard time getting into” — simply letting him skip the queues.

Better known as Lynchy, he’s made himself better known to bouncers not for causing any trouble but for his freestyles. He’s been rapping since he was 11 or 12, and has been uploading videos of them to Facebook since he was 13.
