New Meath-based rapper KIDD has released his new single, SUSI. We asked him the BIG questions . . .
The track is an ode to the SUSI grant that many college students "all know and love" and it follows KIDD's Soundcloud mixtape and his debut single, DeNiro.
This track is part of an upcoming EP, Kiddology, which centres on "the activities of a college student, from a night at the races to break-ups and self-doubt".
