Strange Boy: 'Trad-rap has never really been done, but the reaction has been lovely'
Strange Boy aka Jordan Kelly in his video for The Pope.
Limerick rapper Jordan Kelly, aka Strange Boy, has long been an articulate voice in Irish hip-hop. His new single ‘The Pope’, offers a light-hearted departure from his more serious material, and articulates the dreams of a twelve-year-old who wants to make it big like the Pope.
“I got brought up in a Catholic family, my mother and father were very religious and I got brought to Mass every Sunday,” he explains. “I was very bored in Mass, and I didn’t like it. So, when I got older, I threw all that religious shit out the door, started thinking for myself, so the song is based along that.
