Jun Tzu - Fire In The Booth

[@WotsisFace]

9 years later… and this is still food for the soul… goosebumps…

[@gavin9873]

I first saw this video about 9 years ago and now watching it again in 2024 amd its still fire..here lies a soldier is one of my favourites definitely got that saved to the playlist

[@enry898]

One thing I will say about Jun is that he was given his moment here and he fucking took it!! He put his heart and soul into this and I have never witnessed any rapper put so much open emotion into their lyrics. The last bit of here lies a soldier is really deep and well written too.

[@OllieJohno]

So good aye

[@djt9619]

U want emotion and passion give Mic Righteous a listen bud, all 4 of his fire in the booths are a masterpiece 🔥🔥

[@JayBelfast]

The emotion shines threw the passion makes this.

[@belfastrepeire8442]

'Here lies a Soldier' probably one of the greatest songs about the conflict here ever written. Not gonna lie, I listen to rebel songs quite regularly, but in the grand scheme of things, these one sided (Loyalist or Republican) songs portraying one side, one story of events, are all worthless! Right here, Jun gets it absolutely spot on. Simply just, hits home.

[@DreamClean]

***** I wish I got upvote this comment 100 times. We are all human at the end of it.

[@k-mac3513]

***** thats it m8

[@dunmarkmcgregory3974]

***** Well said sir, if only more people had your mindset this conflict would be history. I even find myself using prejudice slurs on occasion,(only when provoked and that kind of thing was already directed at me), making me just as bad as the provoker but after listening to this guy it finally hit me we need to stop that shit right now. It takes a brave man like this to represent both sides in spite of threats and hate. Respect.

[@Switch762]

Aye well I'm completely outside the struggles of Ireland but that song did ease a lot of my anger about the military fighting in the middle east. Had a mind set that couldn't understand why they were willingly there but I forgot how easy it is to want to fight for something that turns out to be misleading and that war is more than just the evil banking cartels

[@Josh_17]

Unfortunately in some amount of the years there will be much more violence on the streets of Northern Ireland. Nowadays there is guns on the street, bombs, shootings and still paramilitaries prepared for war. The war maybe over but there is still an ongoing conflict but those blinded by the GFA wont believe it and they wont believe it until there is mass murder on the streets. In the run up to christmas Republicans go on a rampage to cause carnage. No i am not deluded there is more hate than ever and believe me or not it will happen.

[@jackdelaney4082]

Great to see a positive role model coming out of Northern Ireland. Thank you so much Jun Tzu

[@christiansmith3141]

This is still one of the realist and best FITBs ever made. No one matches Jun's insight into the deep realities. Respect

[@owenroche6799]

Never thought I would hear an irish rapper go in as hard as he does . Sick fire in the booth big up Jun Tzu.

[@traceurs619]

The songs in this are so much better when he sings them with such raw power and passion. I LOVE it. I always come back to this when I need my Jun Tzu fix

[@jjtotheb]

Charlie dropping bombs on the soundboard as he sings about the troubles 😅

[@normajeanbell2695]

Lol

[@ENGLISH_TRUTH]

Hmmm i still dont know what to make of this but you have got to appreciate the passion and delivery.

[@northerner710]

This is one of the most underrated FITB EVER. Years later n still not got the views it deserves.

[@MikeyDowson93]

"I'm not playing charlie... got you a lemon drizzle cake" hahaha what a legend

[@conorhogan6407]

I just found this now. I honestly teared up. Right in the feels.

[@TheRisenPeopleEire]

Amazing it does not matter one bit if he's prod catholic or hindu this boy's a legend and speaks from the heart, We need more rappers like this. Unreal Jun !

its annoying that people don't understand about the last song, the divide of Belfast because of the 2 different opinions, so many lives lost in terrorist acts and all sorts, big respect to Jun Tzu

[@The1stAiteall]

Terrorist attacks from all sides 😔

[@maxtorfrisk7382]

That outro is one of the best I have ever heard.....wicked tune but boy, that dedication outro to the tune....amazing....touching....

My apologies.. I thought we had gotten over the grudge about the 6 counties. Move on already.

[@typ2499]

Im from America and live there. Ive been to other countries and I highly observe my own home and its not how you listen or or where your from. I remember when rap was a tool to speak the truth out and now its been turned against us in hidden ways. I like and respect jun Tzu and his passion behind his courage to speakin truth.

[@MrAdamPSimmons]

I rate you for saying that. Respect

[@elbs4253]

Props brother!! Props.. ya got fans down here bra. 🇦🇺🦘

I have listened to this so many times Jun Tzu is outstanding and all his bars is spot on and speaks the truth though his bars

Probably the best Fire In The Booth I've had the pleasure of listening to. Though it is St. Patricks Day here in the U.S.. Forgive me for not liking this on the first few listens..I forgot to click the hand thingy.

[@TheREALSpaceMuffins]

jun tzu, i spoke to the dude and seen him perform for the locals in the local, and the guy did a freestyle that seemed to gain momentum and alliteration as it went on, a 4-5min str8 acapella, , now im from northern ireland and there have been times people are scared to speak out about some of the issues he addresses, but i assure you, as a wile picky lyricist, and wile fussy, that this guys passion was undeniable, his skills are undeniable, while somewhat aggressive,so bloody honest, real spirit

[@jordan5783]

I love the fact that British rap/grime whatever you wanna call it, emulates rap in America back when tupac, nwa wu tang klan where out, in the sense that most artists make tunes about real problems people face, not bullshit that you here the like of drake and lil Wayne rap about. Most of the British artists are doing it! There's probably loads of underground American artists doing the same I'm just not aware of them. The likes of akala, mic righteous, English frank and lowkey when he was out. Also logic an this guy Jun tzu. All absolute beasts

[@reecewalton3177]

Correct yourself matey, it's not emulating American rap. It's British mc's spitting there troubles and using there city/town sound. The beats easily separates the uk sound away from America. American rap is dead nowadays. The biggest rappers in America are not American. That iggy chick is a emulate American rap. She's from Australia or New Zealand. Drake is from Canada

[@jordan5783]

Just cos drake loves grime doesn't mean anything really. Doesn't change the content he spits. He even spat one of skepta's bars doesn't mean anything.

[@bigladsuppers]

I feel a bit ashamed of myself for never clicking on this one before just cos id not heard of him before, how wrong i was. i been bumping this pretty much everyday. I dont listen to rap if its just about sum fake shit, but you can feel the emotion in his voice. Anyone from US who might not get this guy, i dont blame you as he is very different from what you are used to, but google about Belfast and Northern Ireland, the troubles, IRA ect... get an understanding of the place he comes from before you judge him. Big up Jun Tzu again, keep it real brother. Peace. Enry
