Partners In Irony

Partners In lrony is a transcendent bi-coastal hip-hop partnership featuring the unique stylings of Jace Martin and Rilke.

Their initial connection was ignited within the walls of a European History classroom in in Columbus, Ohio. During one memorable lecture, as the two were joking to one another across the room, a keen observation by their teacher ("Well, aren't you two just partners in irony") became the spark that kindled their dynamic alliance As fate would have
it, they spent their college years at Kent State University as roommates, paving the way for their debut at a campus festival. That stage marked the dawn of an artistic partnership that shows no signs of waning.

"Partners In Irony" isn't just a moniker: it encapsulates their contrasting auras. With Jace exuding an effortless charisma and Rilke presenting a deliberate and unique flair, the duo's artistry harks back to legendary sounds reminiscent of OutKast and early-2010s Kanye West, yet simultaneously pushes musical boundaries with contemporary production and lyrical prowess. While Columbus provided the backdrop to their formative years, it was the inimitable legends of hip hop they looked up to -- absorbing nuances of production, lyricism and the intangible spark that makes music pulsate with life.
