Since the launch of Skepta’s last album, the critically acclaimed Konnichiwa, it’s been over three years. As the rapper’s popularity grew larger on the North American market, the rapper proceeded to deliver new music in that time including the supported Wizkid, “Power,” and his EP, Vicious that included contributions from A$ AP Rocky, Smoke Boyz (f.k.a Section Boyz), and Lil B. With a new album on the way, he’s unleashing more singles to get us prepared for his May 31st release.
Skepta delivered the first single and the first track of his upcoming project, Ignorance Is Bliss earlier this morning with “Bullet From A Gun.” He’s back with his second single off the project, the Nafe Smallz-assisted, “Greaze Mode,” in less than 24 hours. His latest effort is more of a hard-hitting banger than “Bullet.”
“The internet makes everything and everyone politically correct, but it takes away the music,” Skepta said in an album statement. “Ignorance Is Bliss deals with Life’s yin yang. Real Skepta, saying everything exactly how it is.”
Quotable Lyrics
And if I ain’t the headline, then I must be the special guest
I pull up and steal the show, and I weren’t even tryna flex
Had to touch the afterparty, she just sent me the address
Said that she wanted me to come and I told her “say it with your chest”
