Limerick Rapper Willzee: From Foster Care to Finding His Voice

For me, writing everything has to be in my own thing. The other side was coming from the travelling community, because people assume, because you come from the travelling community, that you're illiterate, you're back to front. Like you know, your community is full of great people.
Imagine navigating life as a young Traveller in foster care while grappling with addiction. That's the reality Limerick rapper Willzee faced, and he shares his compelling journey on 'The Two Norries Podcast'. Hosts James Leonard and Timmy Long sit down with Willzee to explore his challenging upbringing, his battle with drugs and alcohol, and the pivotal role music has played in his life. This episode isn't just about the struggles; it's about the triumphs and the transformative power of art.
Willzee opens up about overcoming shame, unifying his identity, and breaking down stereotypes about the Traveller community. His candid reflections offer a raw look at the realities of addiction and the importance of friendship and support in finding strength. If you're looking for a story of resilience and hope, this conversation is a must-listen.
