Irish rap trio Kneecap release video for "The Recap" after their Glastonbury performance, with the track reaching one million streams.
Kneecap have shared a new video for their single 'The Recap', following their appearance at Glastonbury Festival.
The Irish rap trio's track, which was initially released via their WhatsApp group in May before hitting streaming platforms ahead of their Glastonbury set, has accumulated one million streams in its first week.
The video was directed by Finn Keenan, who said: "It took a lot of incredibly talented and passionate people to come together to make this video in just over a week. And I can't believe the trust and support we got from Kneecap and their team. A once in a lifetime kind of job. So grateful to each and every one of yiz. More Blacks, More Dogs, More Irish, Mo Chara."
'The Recap', which features drum & bass producer Mozey, made its live debut during the group's headline set at Wide Awake Festival in London. Kneecap said of the track: "Taking some of the king's stash of cash is better than taking drugs." Mozey added: "As if Kneecap wasn't rowdy enough I decided to stick them on a drum and bass track.. energy overload!"
The band are set to perform at Wembley Arena on 18th September, alongside numerous festival appearances across Europe. They will also embark on a North American tour and conclude the year with two shows at Dublin's 3Arena.
