3 hours ago7 min read

Belfast's incendiary rap trio Kneecap has returned with a powerful new single, 'No Comment,' a groundbreaking collaboration with drum & bass luminary Sub Focus. The track arrives as a potent cultural statement, amplified by its iconic artwork featuring a piece of original graffiti by the legendary Banksy, taken from a Northern Ireland courthouse wall—a symbol that perfectly mirrors the group's rebellious spirit.Known for their politically charged lyrics delivered in a dynamic mix of Irish and English, Kneecap continues to challenge conventions, with the line 'Us Irish are well used to it, been happening for centuries' serving as a stark, historical anchor for their modern dissent. The fusion with Sub Focus masterfully blends the gritty, terrestrial energy of Irish republican rap with the expansive, futuristic sound of stadium drum & bass, creating an anthemic yet agitated soundscape.This partnership not only broadens their sonic horizons but also solidifies their message's reach from local haunts to global festival stages. Following their acclaimed biopic and rising notoriety, Kneecap stands at the forefront of a new wave of artists proving that music is an undeniable force for political expression. 'No Comment' is more than a song; it's a rallying cry, a strategic refusal to engage on oppressive terms, and a devastatingly danceable manifesto for the disaffected.
