Grime never went anywhere, but there’s a renewed focus on the UK currently, thanks to overt influence on superstars Drake and Kanye (Skepta appeared onstage with Yeezy at the Brit Awards, “Yo Skepta: thank you,”). Striking while the iron’s hot, Skepta drops Shutdown, sampling both an offhand Vine quote from Drizzy and an apparent complaint about the Brit Awards performance, going in on a grimey-as-hell beat. Makings of a club hit, truss mi daddi.
