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.
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
'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.
***** 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.
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
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.
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
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 !
I know for sure jun tzu feeds the homeless with the kind of food he gave charlie, love your work tzu keep up awareness down at your end fam - pharaoh set
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
jordan robinson I saw you talking like an adult, if you were still a child I'd have acted accordingly. Your age isn't on your name, so in every sense of the word, grow up.
Still my favourite F.I.T.B here lies a soldier is still my favourite tune. Love this guys emotion, first time I heard this had a tear inmy eye. BIG UP JUN TZU MAD RESPECT!
Damn. Only just been put on this guy. Im half irish, scouse. Well known family in Kensington. 42 years in prison in total for the fam. This tune deep!!!!! Passion right there, big up jun tzu, who know who we are
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
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
I consider the style of rap your talking about poetry set to music. This occurred to me when I was in English class at school years ago when the teacher played us a video of John Agard reading his poem "Flag".
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.
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.
+Dare Devil no way that top three, they are good but not top three. Akala, Mic Righteous and Lowkey.... then you have K koke, giggs, Logic they are all better as well.... everyone is entitled to their own opinions but that's mine.
BOOM BOOM to the back of the brain like thunder! With the rumpa the pumpa, Leave you orange and green like an oldskool umpa lumpa! Rompa stompa! Splatter your brains! Front of the bumpa! Leave two holes front o ya jumpa I've told you once I'm not tellin you twice I'll hunt ya, I'll hunt yas all till ya deep down under, speak an I'll punch ya! yeah the reapers amongst ya, I was born from the people of ulster, Now I swarm like a beast IM A MONSTER!!!!!!
all im seeing is a load of comments about where this guy is from and where he claims....what about his bars? his flow? his energy? oi, this guys haaaard
medicafted lemon drizzel cake ;) this guy can go big up Jun! Seen owner cali cave and you are g's so had check you out damn your a fucking g big up from Donegal...last one hits home damn g
This guy is fire that is the voice of new Ireland.we are Left behind and wanna go forward. Guys listen and stand up and take our future back. This is the solution. Take the power back. Life is ours. We outnumber them 10 to 1
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
he got emotional when spitting bout the shit that's being going on needlessly for fuckin years! I could feel that shit man.. Beautiful, respect no matter what religion or stance anyone has
Sum real deep shit here, big up Jun Tzu. 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
I love stuff like this it dosnt matter if they make it big to them its about speaking the truth though music they will always be opposed by haters but people like this is pure and will rise one day in music. We all hear songs though music this bloke is class
HE IS KILLING IT WITH THE LIKES .. U GO JUN TZU , VERY TALENTED, AND I HAVE CAME HERE AGAIN FROM A GOOD WILE BACK AND THESE LIKES HAVE SHOT RIGHT UP WOW 1148 AND I HAVE JUST MADE IT 1149. KEEP IT GOING MAN!!!
Amen brother, time for us to stop letting the 1% control us like puppets and make us hate eachother. If you believe in the Bible, then we all came from Adam and eve. We're all brothers and sisters.
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.
So good aye
U want emotion and passion give Mic Righteous a listen bud, all 4 of his fire in the booths are a masterpiece 🔥🔥
The emotion shines threw the passion makes this.
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
"I'm not playing charlie... got you a lemon drizzle cake" hahaha what a legend
9 years later… and this is still food for the soul… goosebumps…
'Here lies a Soldier' probably one of the greatest songs about the conflict here ever written.

***** I wish I got upvote this comment 100 times. We are all human at the end of it.
***** thats it m8

This is still one of the realist and best FITBs ever made. No one matches Jun's insight into the deep realities. Respect
Who is here in 2024? Theres no rapper alive in Northern Ireland that can touch this man 🎶🎶🎶
Charlie dropping bombs on the soundboard as he sings about the troubles 😅
Lol
Great to see a positive role model coming out of Northern Ireland.
Thank you so much Jun Tzu
He's like the northern Irish version of immortal technique.
Dance with the devil ;)
Irish Frank

This is one of the most underrated FITB EVER. Years later n still not got the views it deserves.
Should be well over a million views...
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 !

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

Hmmm i still dont know what to make of this but you have got to appreciate the passion and delivery.
I just found this now. I honestly teared up. Right in the feels.
wow an Irish rapper... this man is something we all need to hear 👂
11 years later still watching this set and as a chef still can’t get over the gifts, that’s good man with a great heart that actually cares!
I know for sure jun tzu feeds the homeless with the kind of food he gave charlie, love your work tzu keep up awareness down at your end fam - pharaoh set
Always come back to this
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
Terrorist attacks from all sides 😔
still one of the hardest FITB.. 2021
Jun Tzu has serious talent.
aye
+jordan robinson Don't go getting a stiff lad.
who u talking to
jordan robinson I saw you talking like an adult, if you were still a child I'd have acted accordingly. Your age isn't on your name, so in every sense of the word, grow up.
Still better then most fire in booths. Jun tzu where are you 2018
youd know he was irish, you always bring the host a gift!!
He's not Irish
Yes he is
he is not irsh
he is northern irish, but it still counts as irish
My apologies.. I thought we had gotten over the grudge about the 6 counties. Move on already.
That outro is one of the best I have ever heard.....wicked tune but boy, that dedication outro to the tune....amazing....touching....
"Julias Ceasar raised his troops on that"
quality line that!
Roman troops and even the gladiators ate a plant-based diet with lots of high protein grains like spelt and barley.
Lol
Hes not wrong
Thanks for something new and original, this has a different edge.
Still my favourite F.I.T.B here lies a soldier is still my favourite tune. Love this guys emotion, first time I heard this had a tear inmy eye. BIG UP JUN TZU MAD RESPECT!
This guy is insane, stands up for what he believes in!
Belfast Biggie

Ikr
Damn. Only just been put on this guy. Im half irish, scouse. Well known family in Kensington. 42 years in prison in total for the fam. This tune deep!!!!! Passion right there, big up jun tzu, who know who we are

Enough respect Jun Tzu Enough respect!!
This is realness right here!
Respect from inside Syria my brother.
Last track is massive ... Fully rated
Hard core bro, keep up the real word, respect from Scotland, here lies the war...
The passion from this guy is strong,what many artists haven't got these days.
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
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
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.
jordan Dilworth True man, but do you know the muffin man?
I consider the style of rap your talking about poetry set to music. This occurred to me when I was in English class at school years ago when the teacher played us a video of John Agard reading his poem "Flag".
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.
I rate you for saying that. Respect
Yep, my ancestors are from Armagh! Represent!🍀🍀🍀
The most emotional and truest of performances right there ....watch this space #legend , big up norn irond , big up Jun Tzu ✌️✊
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.
The Proffessor Tex His F.I.T.B was amazing to be fair, Lowkey's & Devlin's for the top three!!
+Dare Devil no way that top three, they are good but not top three. Akala, Mic Righteous and Lowkey.... then you have K koke, giggs, Logic they are all better as well.... everyone is entitled to their own opinions but that's mine.
Alexander Hendry come on bro, K koke and logic hahaha
no fire in the booth will ever top English Frank ........if Biggie& Tupac hadn't passed it'd be possible .....but until then Frank's one at the top💯💯
+Kerri price. Akala topped it. So did Lowkey, Mic Righteous, Dave and Wretch
2023 Still fire 🔥 💪
Pure Fire From The Heart
Never gets old this one. One of my faves.
Mad respect for him. One of the few who don't rap about guns, drugs and prostitution.
Listen to his song The Solution with INK
Best one in my opinion, the passion he has in what he is talking about is class
