The 'Jesus saves!' guy from Love/Hate rapped on the Saturday Night Show
REMEMBER THIS MEMORABLE face that popped up shouting “Jesus saves!” during episode four of Love/Hate?

He appeared on the Saturday Night Show last night to discuss his standout role in the hit show, as well as his history with drug abuse (you can watch the whole interview on the RTÉ Player).

He says hip-hop is helping him through his recovery – here he is performing his own anti-drugs track, Bag A Gear.
