About

To push grime forward, Skepta had to go back to his root. On <b>“That’s Not Me,”</b> the lead single from 2016’s <i>Konnichiwa</i>, he denounced the glitzy elements of the scene that he’d increasingly bought into across his previous three album. “Yeah, I used to wear Gucci/I put it all in the bin ’cause that’s not me/True, I used to look like you/But dressin’ like a me, nah, that’s not me,” he spat amid video-game bleeps and strident synths that recalled grime’s DIY foundation. In three head-rattling minute, any pop leanings that had been encouraged by his brief stint as a major-label artist were consigned to the trash with a Rolex sweep. That tone set, <i>Konnichiwa</i> arrived as a master class in using old-school intensity to break down border. .
