Demlot, the Dublin-based hip-hop duo made up of Scauldy and Sub-Rhyme, teams up with Caitlin C for their latest release, “New Flex.” The track is a bold declaration of confidence and swagger, layered over an upbeat, infectious backing beat reminiscent of early works by Drake, Future, 21 Savage or a slowed version of Juice WRLD track ‘Empty Out Your Pockets’. With their growing fanbase across Spotify, YouTube, and TikTok, this release is sure to make waves in the Irish hip-hop scene.

Caitlin C opens the track with a fiery verse, delivering sharp, self-assured lines like, “I cut you off like Ye did Swift if you keep testing me.” Her assertive delivery is underscored by witty lyrics that blend humor and confidence. Caitlin’s verse is a perfect balance of attitude and finesse, setting the tone for the track.

Demlot’s contributions carry the momentum forward, with a hook that’s both catchy and commanding: “I be on the new flex, new flex

When I pull up with the new treads,

looking too fresh

Their verses showcase a relentless flow, brimming with lyrical confidence and clever wordplay. Lines like, “Too much talk, not enough of the walking,” and

“in our own league, fuck the team that you roll with

hold my drink,

whole room shut down,

The production is a polished, high-energy beat that’s sure to gain attention with fans of hip-hop. Its upbeat tempo provides the perfect backdrop for the verses, giving the track a vibe that’s both modern and rooted in the genre’s classic influences.
