Kneecap's 'Fenian' Album Faces Censorship, Tops Charts
Description
Kneecaps new album Fenian faces censorship on London tube posters, but the Irish hip-hop trios raw energy and sharp lyrics are earning critical acclaim. The album, featuring guests like Kae Tempest and Radie Peat, is battling for the top UK chart spot against Melanie C and Michael Jackson. The bands manager, Daniel Lambert, called out Transport for London for rejecting the original designs due to the word Fenian being too political. The albums title comes from nineteenth-century Irish revolutionaries, and Kneecap flips the slur back to mean warrior spirit and community pride.
