Ed Strong (Ed Hirst) has just announced on Facebook that The IRS are to split up, their current album will be their last release as a group.
Formed in 1998, the group consists of ED STRONG (Producer/MC), RANDOM DEVIATION (MC), KING KAIOW (MC), SUPERB (MC) and DJ GUIDE ONE.
2004 saw the release of their first 12” single WORK, on the Brighton label REAL RECORDS which received airplay from the likes of RADIO ONE, KISS FM and 1XTRA. The track went on to feature on DISORDA’s already established compilation series UK HUSTLERS THE RETURN. They followed up this feat by getting their 2006 track LOLA on Disorda’s SUSPECT FILES, VOL 3.
Their first EP, TAX DISC, released on CRYOGENIC RECORDS, was once more supported by a number of commercial and pirate radio broadcasters, as well as press, with DJ MAG naming it the HIP-HOP TRACK OF THE MONTH, describing it as ‘THOUGHTFUL, FUNNY, ACCURATE, FANTASTIC, MIND BLOWING. YOU CAN’T ASK FOR MORE’. Their Debut LP “The World Is Theirs” dropped in September 2007. Check the LHHS Review here…
This is quite a somber moment as after their gig in Leeds a couple of years ago for Diff’rent Strokes they were nominated by the venue for the Indy Music Awards as best Urban Act which they went on to win against WY group Don’t talk to Strangers aka DTTS.
Good luck to the IRS and whatever you all go on to do….
