Who Are Kneecap? Three of Us From Belfast
We're Kneecap, a hip-hop trio from Belfast in Northern Ireland. If you've found your way to our merch, here's a short guide to who we are.
Who is in Kneecap?
There are three of us:
- Mo Chara, from West Belfast
- Móglaí Bap, from West Belfast
- DJ Próvaí, from Derry
Those are our stage names. Off stage we're Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, Naoise Ó Cairealláin and J. J. Ó Dochartaigh.
Where are we from?
Belfast is home. Mo Chara and Móglaí Bap grew up in West Belfast, and DJ Próvaí is from Derry.
What language do we rap in?
Irish and English. We switch between the two, and that mix is part of what Kneecap is. You'll see it on the merch too: Irish words, English catchphrases and the Kneecap name side by side.
When did it start?
We've been going since 2017. Our first single, C.E.A.R.T.A., came out that year; the title is Irish for "rights". The mixtape 3CAG followed in June 2018, and our album Fine Art came out in June 2024.
What's in the shop?
Every design in the shop is ours, and each one comes on:
- Tees for every day and every gig
- Long sleeves for layering
- Crewnecks for colder nights
- Hoodies for when it's properly cold
There are kids' and youth sizes too, and every product page has its own size chart, so you can check the fit before you order.
Where do I start?
Start with the design that speaks to you: a catchphrase, a release, or the plain Kneecap name. Then pick the garment you'll wear most.
