In between the money stacks and mobsters, Minaj sports a “Bussin” necklace towards the end of the video – hinting at the new song that would follow. With promises of more upcoming work, all we can do now is look out for any other Easter eggs alluding to the artist’s much-anticipated future releases.
Both songs are available to stream now. Check out the video for “Do We Have a Problem” below.
Sophie Abeles: I want to know—where did you guys meet?
Korey Thomas: We all came up through music, just in different places. Some of the lads were making music around the country, some of us were in Dublin. Eventually, we ended up in the same place, doing it together.
Cillian McCauley: Have you seen Oppenheimer? You know when the bomb goes off? It was kind of like that—we just… collided.
Chris LaMotte: Sam and I have known each other since we were kids.
Sophie: Noted. A bit of chaotic synergy. Who writes the songs?
Korey: I had four notebooks full of songs before I met this guy—gestures to Fatboy—and we started jamming in college. Cillian was doing house music. We just took the best parts of everything and built our first project from that.
Sophie: And Fatboy—were you just born a singer?
Fatboy: No, I was shite. Where I’m from—Ballymun—singing’s a good way to get a brick thrown at your head.
Sophie: Why’s that?
Fatboy: It’s just not what we do. We like bikes. You’ve got a bike, I’ll have it. Pass it on to one of the lads. That’s business.
Sophie: Was your family supportive?
Fatboy: They said it was a nice hobby. Thought I had a terrible voice, but I didn’t take it personally. No one really gets offended like that where I’m from. I just kept learning—and I still am.
Sophie: Who were you listening to growing up?
Fatboy: Akon, Dr. Dre, Oro Sólido—my stepmom’s Mexican, so I heard a lot of Latin music too.
Sam Healy: D’Angelo. Big fan.
Chris: The Roots. The Notorious B.I.G..
Korey: Slipknot.
Cillian: Pop—whatever was on the radio. Early 2000s stuff.
Sophie: What about traditional Irish music? I hear it, especially on Blacks Law.
Fatboy: Definitely. It’s a huge influence. A lot of that music is about resistance—or just being a bit mad, honestly.
Sophie: There’s that tension in your sound—vulnerability and anger.
Fatboy: Yeah. It’s angsty.
Sophie: I found Bricknasty by accident and got hooked—especially Blacks Law and “imperet illi deus.” That switch-up is wild. Has your sound changed much over time?
Cillian: There’s a through line, for sure.
Korey: The band’s like… clumpy glue.
Sophie: That makes sense. It all sticks together somehow—layers on layers.
Fatboy: And when you peel them back, it’s worse than an onion.
Sophie: I think that complexity is what makes it work. Let’s talk about making Blacks Law. What was that process like?
Fatboy: Like getting infected with a World War Z virus. After four months, I came home covered in sores—my mum started crying. It was rough.
Sophie: What made it so hard?
Korey: Everyone was fully committed to making something good. You can hear that in the record.
Fatboy: My mum always asks why I can’t make “nice” songs. But I like when a track sounds like someone might die. If you can mix that with melody and rhythm—then you’ve got something. My family hates it, though.
Sophie: Do you think the music will translate in the U.S.? How’s the tour been?
Sam: It’s different—especially New York. The level here is insane. But we’ve put the time in. Weeks of rehearsals. Chris and I were constantly traveling back to Dublin to meet the lads.
Chris: The last tour nearly broke us. We were still in school—failing assignments while on the road.
Fatboy: Sam loves to complain about sleeping on couches.
Sophie: Dream co-headliner?
Fatboy: Dijon or Mk.gee. They’re doing something different.
Sam: Junior Mesa.
Fatboy: He’s class. I love Liim as well.
Sophie: When people listen to your music, what do you want them to take away?
Sam: Yup Ireland.
Fatboy: Yup Ireland.
Sophie: Beyond that—what should they feel?
Korey: To really listen. Analyze every note.
Sophie: That’s impossible.
Fatboy: If you’re listening to Bricknasty—fair play. You’re probably sound, good-looking, and have a bright future. And don’t take yourself too seriously—that’s the main thing.
