Skepta Returns To Top Form With 'All In' EP – FUXWITHIT
Skepta is back and he’s going All In with his new EP. The 5 track effort is a sure bet from one of the UK’s biggest stars. The perfect showcase of his breadth as an artist, the project sees Skepta moving from gritty street singles to international summer anthems and everything in between.
The opener is gritty yet celebrational. It’s a razor-sharp anthem with high replay value that shouts out ‘Bellator’ star Michael Venom Page as the rapper flexes across the near 3-minute cut. ‘Peace of Mind’ is a pure party heater with assists from Teezee and Kid Cudi to keep the energy at peak.
‘Nirvana’ lives up to its name with pure summer bliss. With Skepta and J Balvin coming together over buttery but bumpin’ Jae 5 production it’s an instant international smash. This is white robes, tight j’s, and cold tequila on a sunny beach. The summer vibes continue with ‘Lit Like This’ bringing the bounce and Skepta skating over the powerful percussion.
For the finale Skepta takes it back to gritty with the violently sharp ‘Eyes On Me.’ With bars like, “It’s an oxymoron how I speak so bluntly/ Still I’m as sharp as a razor (Ha)” and “Or we could do magic tricks, my guy wave the stick/ Watch them boys start vanishin’ (Brr)” Skepta reminds listeners he’s still as raw as ever.
If Skepta is All In on this one, he’s definitely doubling up and we’re all winning big too.
