Kneecap Recruits Killer Mike for "Smugglers & Scholars" Remix

Kneecap have tapped Killer Mike for a new remix of “Smugglers & Scholars” , a standout single from the trio’s recently-released third album, FENIAN .

The Run the Jewels MC is a solid pick for the revolutionary anthem, adding a bit of counterweight to the often chaotic stylings of Mo Chara and Móglaí Bap. And while Killer Mike exudes a certain humor and intensity that is unlike Kneecap, the temporary configuration maintain the same glowing commitment to social change through art and (as needed) violence. Check out the song below; you can also buy and download it here .
