Daily electricity to loads your batteries

Belfast‘s sharp-mouthed, notorious rap team KNEECAP – Mo Chara,
Móglaí Bap, and DJ Próvaí – hip & hop around with a knife between
their teeth since 2017.
They released their debut album 3cag in 2018
and went viral last year with follow-up Fine Art.
Lately, they make headlines with their loud and clear, ongoing support for Palestine.
They got heavily critiqued for it when they played Coachella Festival in Indo, California
last April and got banned from a couple of other festivals (not Pukkelpop in Belgium).

Then the UK’s right wing politicians jumped into it, and prosecuted Mo Chara after allegedly displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah last November (no verdict yet).
Fortunately, it doesn’t hold them back to release new music. This year the trio already dropped 2 new tracks, H.O.O.D. and The Recap and here’s new one #3 with SAYONARA. Actually the B-side to The Recap. It features Paul Hartnoll from English ambient duo Orbital.
It goes wham bloody wham rap bam.
A perfect get up and rise your voice
once again tune against all oppression
in the world.
