Career

Skepta Biography
Skepta and Chipmunk on Stage

Skepta was inspired by both American and British hip-hop, he began his music career by performing on the pirate radio circuit and at various MC battles.

He co-founded the grime label Boy Better Know with his brother J.M.E. and Wiley in 2005, and a year later he joined the East London collective Roll Deep, which he left the following year to focus on Boy Better Know and his solo career.

Before signing with All Around the World Records in 2010, he released his first two albums, Greatest Hits and Microphone Champion, on his own label.

In the same year, he charted in the Top 40 with “Bad Boy” (number 26) and “Rescue Me” (number 14); he toured with Chipmunk in the United Kingdom, and P. Diddy personally chose him to record a grime remix of “Hello Good Morning” based on suggestions from his Twitter followers.

Doin’ It Again, his third album, was released in early 2011, featuring the Top 40-charting single “Cross My Heart,” and peaked at number 19 on the UK album chart.

Skepta released two singles in 2012 (“Hold On” and the C+C Music Factory-sampling “Make Peace Not War”) that shifted his sound into a more commercial direction.

Both songs charted in the Top 30 in the United Kingdom and were intended to be the lead singles for an album titled The Honeymoon, but due to fan reaction, the album was scrapped, and a mixtape titled Blacklisted was released at the end of the year in its place.

Skepta, who kept a low profile in 2013, made a big comeback the following year. He contributed a verse to Meridian Dan’s remix of “German Whip,” which became a Top 20 hit in May 2014.

Skepta appeared on ASAP Rocky’s May 2018 single “Praise the Lord (Da Shine).” The single was included on the Billboard Hot 100. Skepta also released his single “Pure Water” in May, which peaked at number 78 in the UK.

In June, he released “Energy (Stay Far Away)” with Wizkid, which peaked at number 59. In December 2019, he appeared as himself as a radio host alongside Danny Brown in a Grand Theft Auto Online expansion.
