If you are interested in music, it’s likely that you will have read something, or heard someone banging on about how amazing Kneecap are. They are Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí: a dynamic, charismatic group of rappers from Belfast, whose punchy, sometimes satirical, output moves in and out of the Irish language to communicate themes of social unrest and a crucial, often unheard Irish point of view.
Kneecap are a rap group consisting of Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap, and DJ Próvai. Merging Irish with English, satire with socially conscious lyrics, and reality with absurdity, theirs is a voice which comes screaming from the too-often deprived areas of the North of Ireland, speaking in a language which is too-often ignored. Their music has attracted a legion of fans globally, and their rise has been celebrated in well-documented via film and documentary.
Manifesto is a series on WePresent which invites activists and creatives with something to say to write 10 rules to live by, in order to help spread their message. The artwork on this page was created by Oscar Torrans.
