This week, Skepta commandeered the airwaves at Apple Music with a social broadcast lasting two hours.
The UK icon is a pioneer in rap, production, and fashion, and he will reveal his third fashion collection for MAINS during London Fashion Week this weekend.
Before that, Skepta stepped into the booth for Apple Music, taking over the entire session. He played tracks from his early days in London clubs, diving into the essence of his creative vision and sharing some insights along the way.
Sampling classic UK Garage – featuring songs from MJ Cole, So Solid Crew, and more – Skepta reflects on the scenes, sounds, and styles of London's club culture at the dawn of the Millennium and beyond.
Accompanied by special guests including Heartless Crew MC Bushkin and stylist Rhiannon Isabel, it's an intriguing listen.
Skepta remarks: “I aimed to bring the music that has influenced my new collection to life and immerse myself in this UK Garage, Jungle, Rave realm of SK. We’ll discuss the intertwining histories of fashion and music, and their intersection in London.”
