Kneecap have released a new version of “Smugglers & Scholars” from their great new album FENIAN . This redux features a verse from Killer Mike where he wages war on on colonialism and racism: “Fuck the masters, kill the kings.” You can listen to that below.

The Killer Mike version of “Smugglers & Scholars” was originally released on a special digital version of FENIAN that was only available as a download for one day in the UK on the week of its release. It also featured a remix of “Palestine” by Massive Attack’s 3-D, but that one has not hit streaming yet.

Kneecap are on the UK/EU festival circuit this summer, including Primavera Sound , Reading & Leeds , and more. All dates are listed below.
