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

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.

Great to see a positive role model coming out of Northern Ireland. Thank you so much Jun Tzu

This is still one of the realist and best FITBs ever made. No one matches Jun's insight into the deep realities. Respect

Should be well over a million views...

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

This is one of the most underrated FITB EVER. Years later n still not got the views it deserves.

Who is here in 2024? Theres no rapper alive in Northern Ireland that can touch this man 🎶🎶🎶

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

'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.

Hmmm i still dont know what to make of this but you have got to appreciate the passion and delivery.

2022 and still listening to this great fire in the booth 🔥🔥

This is so real! Brings out his passion!

I love how this guy represents all civil struggles not only the situation in Ireland, a huge respect.

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".

Nice guy man he's not a problem he's a solution to the problems, hope he does good over in irl nice guy for real

This a new level of realism. Epic. I reckon there are more than a couple of "Gangsta rappers" that need to show this level of passionate committed message Jun Tzu.

a fukin legend in the making id b by ur side da whole way love ur words any 1 who grew up on the streets of Belfast will relate to ur songs much respect my man brilliant

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

I’m English but the backing tunes for Irish folk songs are absolutely amazing so smooth

I really feel this guy 🙂 If you listen closely to his lyrics, he speaks the most truth ever! Together us all man or girl (human) lead each other into freedom and evolve into something beautiful. Here lies a soilder ❤️

Excellent.

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

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

Honestly this all sounds better then ur recorded songs on Spotify.. id preferr this version. :) props to jun tzu

Whens part two coming Charlie boy
