Having worked with US rappers in the past including rap legend P Diddy and RATKING member Wiki, Skepta has continued his mission to spread grime across the pond with his fresh new track ‘It Ain’t Safe’, which premiered on i-D today.
Featuring Young Lord (aka A$AP Bari) on the hook, ‘It Ain’t Safe’ is a street anthem that fuses modern US hip hop with grime perfectly and given Skepta’s rising reputation over in the States, following the underground success of his last single ‘That’s Not Me’, which got a US remix, this will only serve to enhance his reputation further.
With Boy Better Know set to go up against A$AP Mob at the Red Bull Culture Clash at the end of the month, maybe we’ll even get a BBK x A$AP collabo before the year is out…fingers crossed!
