Props to Starkiller for linking this. DJ MK alongside A-Cyde drop a banger of a summer mix: ‘The Gullyver Mixtape - No Blacks, No Irish, No Dogs’. Strictly on the bootleg tip!

What its all about, according to A-Cyde:

In the 1800’s when Irish immigrants took up whole neighbourhoods in New York City, many business owners put up “No Irish need apply” signs up. Many business owners did not want Irish to apply, especially in New York City, because of the reputation they had as drinking loud mouths. The Irish were also seen as dirty and disease ridden and it was a common belief that the potato blithe in the Great Potato Famine could be passed through humans and was a disease. It was regularly seen in England too. At boarding houses, where labourers would stay, you could commonly find signs like: No Blacks No Dogs No Irish. This was to impose a colour bar and deemed Irish and Blacks as inferior, or as low as dogs. PAUSE: We would assume that anyone with a full bag of marbles who knows MK(of Irish descent) and I(Black African Origin) would get the title of the mix CD. It’s irony, a piss take, a play on words, err… a joke. A few people are getting the whole thing twisted. Stop making yourselves look silly like Kriss Kross or MV in the early 90’s.
