Skepta
“Bullet From a Gun”
Ignorance is Bliss (out 05.31 on Boy Better Know)
The grime legend’s follow-up to 2016’s Mercury Prize winning “Konnichiwa” has crept up on me a little, but we’re just a few days away from getting to hear it in full. One of two pre-release singles, “Bullet From a Gun” is a sharp distillation of what makes Skeppy such a force, as he weaves a pair of taut, efficient verses that team with insight and clever wordplay. It’s not his boldest tune, but it certainly feels like a keeper.
