* YoungerThanTheyLook: Due to his increased muscle mass, he's often assumed to be in his twenties. He only turned seventeen in 2021. It's also quite jarring to watch "Genuine Prodigy", which was recorded when he was only fifteen but not released until a year later; there he looks his age.

[[caption-width-right:350: He's about to rocket to the moon.]]
Cian Carey is an Irish rapper and musician, best known by his stage name '''Dubal[=C=]''' (pronounced "double see").

A native of Finglas in North Dublin, he was a ChildProdigy and started rapping at a young age and released his first track at the age of sixteen (though unreleased tracks were recorded at fifteen). He is perhaps best known for his song "Rocket to the Moon" and his contribution to the ''COMIX'' album with Music/BernardM.

He often collaborates with his friend Danny Ruszo, and they released a whole album together titled ''Immature, Not Amateur''.

He's openly autistic. Also has a [=TikTok=].

!!Tropes:

* AlliterativeName: His stage name comes from the fact that his initials are CC.
* AntiLoveSong: "Anymore", which appropriately opens with "I don't want to love you anymore".
* BadassBoast: He gives us this gem in "In My Head".
--> "If I'm not big, I'll be next to it."
* BottleEpisode: The "I'm That Kid" video is just him in one room with only a handful of different angles.
* BreakUpSong:
** One of his earlier ones "Anymore", a collaboration with Deanie, is from the perspective of someone just out of a toxic relationship.
** "Hoodie Back" is set post-break up and has him and Danny singing about how they want [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin their hoodie back]] from the ex.
* ClusterFBomb: His tracks will contain several expletives.
* CountryMatters: "Love Songs" opens with "we fell in love with a bunch of cunts". It's not the last time you hear the word in the song.
* DenserAndWackier: His [=TikTok=] sketches are much goofier and more light-hearted than his music.
* TheDissTrack:
** "In My Head" has him ripping on people who mistreated him.
** "Hoodie Back" is the same towards an ex girlfriend.
* DrowningMySorrows: He alludes to "booze to loosen the mind" in "Rocket to the Moon".
* DrugsAreBad: A recurring theme in his work is how he refuses to do drugs.
* DublinSkanger: Defied. "Deathly Hollows" has him insisting he's "not scum even though I'm from the scummy streets and I don't puff the green".
* TheFashionista: Known for his fashion sense.
* FlippingTheBird:
** He and the rest of the students give the camera the double finger at the end of the "In My Head" video.
** "Rocket to the Moon" has a lyric referring to "middle finger as high as you in the sky".
* GagHaircut:
** Due to barbers being closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, he first grew his hair out and then buzzed it off.
** Danny devoted a vlog in 2021 to the two of them bleaching their hair blond, hating the result and shaving it two episodes later.
* {{Gaslighting}}: Quoth this lyric in "In My Head".
--> "I try to speak out but get told it's [[TitleDrop all in my head]]."
* HeterosexualLifePartners: He and Danny are extremely close and, given the amount of break-up songs they collaborate on, one could be forgiven for thinking they might be better off trying it on with each other instead.
* IAmSong: What else do you expect from a track titled "Genuine Prodigy"? He declares that he's "got a lot of things I want to be" but knows he's that already.
* IWantSong: "Rocket to the Moon" is about his hopes and ambitions for the future.
--> "Even if I flop or lose, I'm still gonna rocket to the moon."
* IntercourseWithYou: "Love Can Turn To Hate" references ahem..."cock in women".
* LighterAndSofter: In contrast to his angstier "In My Head", "Rocket to the Moon" is a hopeful song about what he wants to achieve, and he declares that he'll be good to his future fans.
* ManOfAThousandVoices: He's demonstrated his ability to do impressions and voices on Instagram and [=TikTok=]. He's particularly fond of doing [[Series/PeakyBlinders Tommy Shelby]] or [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Stewie Griffin]].
* MisogynySong: His portions of "Love Can Turn to Hate" talk about the degradation of women he doesn't like.
* MrFanservice: Not so much in his music videos, but frequently posts pictures shirtless or in wifebeaters.

* SpecsOfAwesome: Performs while wearing glasses in the school portions of the "All in My Head" video.
* TamerAndChaster: "I'm That Kid" started off as a freestyle on Instagram done while he was shirtless. The version he put on [=YouTube=] has him wearing a t-shirt.
* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: "Hoodie Back" adds "bitch" to the end of every other lyric.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: He got into fitness in 2020 and isn't shy about showing it off.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Due to his increased muscle mass, he's often assumed to be in his twenties. He only turned seventeen in 2021. It's also quite jarring to watch "Genuine Prodigy", which was recorded when he was only fifteen but not released until a year later; there he looks his age.
