It’s been a long time since i’ve listened to something labeled as “grime”, let alone actually liked the track; now, I have nothing against grime as a sub genre at all, quite the contrary, sub genres are dope, fuck centralized ideas of what genre is. Skepta is a seasoned MC of the Uk’s famous Hip Hop and Grime scene, he’s over thirty years of age and is recognized as a Grime pioneer. He wrote and co-produced his newest single “Shutdown” which is blowing up lately with almost three hundred and fifty thousand views in a couple of days, thanks to cosigns from taste making blogs such as Noisey (ANDDD 1833) and from Drake & Yeezy. Skepta can be seen in the video posted with what can be assumed is his squad, his flow is nice and he’s got punchlines left and right, he is technically proficient while maintaining a clear message that he gives no fucks about establishment and the clowns within it.
