The Original Rudeboys are a currently unsigned Irish acoustic hip hop band from Dublin, Ireland. They are notable for their single 'Stars in my Eyes' which hit number 2 on iTunes and has over 300,000 views on Youtube. They have also played at festivals such as Oxegen and Leeds Festival.

The band consists of Sean 'Neddy' Arkins (Vocals), Robert Burch (Guitar and Vocals) and Sean Walsh (Ukulele).The band's genre has been described as a cross between hip hop and indie. They've been praised for coming from a very working-class background and not letting that prevent them in their musical endeavours.

The lyrics in their songs include messages of hope, e.g.: to look beyond our world so often discoloured by hurt, racism and sadness and see faith, respect and most of all to choose life and not suicide as a way out.
