The Waterford based rapper Flexx Carter has announced the release of his debut EP, ‘The Strangest Life I’ve Ever Known’, later this spring with the release of lead single ‘No Discussion’, out February 7.

Flexx Carter delivers a heartfelt and introspective track with ‘No Discussion’, a song exploring the complexities of a relationship that has run its course.

The song’s emotional weight is amplified by Dublin-based artist Joe Butler, whose smooth and soulful vocals on the chorus provide a striking contrast to Flexx’s gritty verses. 

Together, they create a powerful dynamic, blending vulnerability and conviction in a way that resonates deeply.

Speaking about the new single, Flexx said to the Waterford News & Star: “I think everybody has experienced something like ‘No Discussion’.

“My EP is called ‘The Strangest Life I’ve Ever Known’ for a reason, it is that. This part of the EP is about relationships, because they can be some of the strangest things we experience. I know people feel how I felt when I was recording this track."

Describing his creative process, Flexx added: “It was like therapy for me to write and record it, and I think it will be therapy for people to listen to it as well. I think it will resonate in some way with everybody.” 

Known for his evocative lyrics and powerful storytelling Flexx Carter has carved out a niche in the rap world by drawing from his own life experiences to create music that resonates deeply with his audience.

Flexx takes his inspiration from both old school hip-hop and modern genre-bending artists such as Mac Miller and Tyler The Creator. 

Exclusively recorded in Darklands Studio Dublin, his previous releases ‘Freedom’, ‘The Future Never Happened’, ‘Intentions’ and ‘Who’s Flexx’ complete his first project, 'The Freedom Tapes' and demonstrate Flexx’s lyrical abilities and intricate writing style.
