🔊ARTIST OF THE WEEK🔊
UK RAP IS THE FUTURE…..
Ok now that I have your attention, have you ever had a song that you can rap/sing to yourself and that gets you hype enough to conquer any tough call, deadlines and traffic?! Thats this song for me. This week, I had to have played it over 10x (I’m sure my partner was annoyed with me continually blasting this joint).
From Skepta Spotify Bio:
A veteran of the U.K. grime scene, Skepta is one of the most internationally recognized British hip-hop figures. The MC, producer, and record-label owner was influential in grime's shift from the underground to the pop charts during the 2000s, thanks in part to the sucess of his Boy Better Know collective, as well as its resurgence during the mid-2010s. With the release of his fourth album, 2016's Konnichiwa, Skepta made his commercial and critical breakthrough, winning that year's Mercury Prize and earning gold certification. 2019's Ignorance Is Bliss fared just as well on the U.K. charts, and 2020's Insomnia, with Chip and Young Adz, reached number three. He expanded his scope and audience through collaborations with J Balvin, Kid Cudi, Playboi Carti, and numerous others. In 2023, Skepta and fellow Boy Better Know member Jammer formed the house label Mas Tiempo and began releasing dance tracks, including several collaborations as well as Skepta's Amy Winehouse-sampling "Can't Play Myself."
Born Joseph Junior Adenuga to Nigerian parents, Skepta was raised in Tottenham, North London. Inspired by both U.S. and U.K. hip-hop, he started his music career appearing on the pirate radio circuit and performing at various MC battles. He began releasing white label singles of angular electronic instrumentals during the early 2000s, before the style became commonly known as grime.
