In this conversation during the 2015 Red Bull Music Academy UK Tour, Skepta discussed grime’s resurgence and flying the flag with international collaborations.

Joseph Junior Adenuga AKA Skepta never wanted to be an MC, but in the end, it proved to be where he was most comfortable. Growing up in London in a Nigerian household alongside his brother JME, Skepta began as a DJ before moving behind the mic as his brother made his way into the grime scene. Following some work with the Medirian and Roll Deep crews, Skepta and JME founded Boy Better Know and in a few years found themselves traveling around the world on the back of mixtapes, performances and merchandising.

Did you know that JME is Skepta's brother? Or that Skepta used to love Shabba D?
What was your favorite part of the interview? Let us know!
i actually didnt know they were brothers for a while even though i listened to both of their music
Somethings can't be explained you can only go so far before you have to go pick up the ball 🏈🏀.

“This up and coming rapper called ‘PLAYBOI CARTI’ “
MAD
trust. carti created a whole genre since then
both the goats fr
"WOW, I'm the king of grime and I will be for a very long time. Cause I go to the rave get a rewind and the second line never sounded like the first line"
Skeppy= Legend
Selasie Hessey true say he just remixed Kano's bar though but yeah Skeppy is a lege
rootbeermcgee that was literally the point lool
Selasie Hessey WOW! Ya got ya first rewind, but the second line sounded like the first line,
I aint got punch lines, I got kick lines, N I aint commercial but I got hit lines,
I spit deep rhymes, but I got the girls on my side from the first reweind,
Ya might see ma face in the magazine, or in a fur coat in face magazine,
Coz their spreading the word from the raves that Ive been,
And their bringing their purse out to pay for my team,
I cudnt give a shit im breaking the scene, making the scene, and then start making the cream,

Skepta is so real. Massive respect for him.
Honestly this is the most best interview of skepta i've ever seen in my entire life, The way he was talking about "We already knew that and that so it was easy etc" i feel the same way as he dose, lifes a bliss for me after finding who i was and what i wanted to do. "Not yet reached my goal" But the day will come. But as he was saying, Finding yourself and being who you are is the most powerful thing on this planet, Once you find yourself you will notice a big energy shift in your life where you will find yourself in a little dark place, but ever heard of the "light at the end of the tunnel" its true, Good things come from bad places, Because before being good you need to see evil. True as fuck interview, Sick hat skepta. I'm out peace.
Sנσѕнυα ρєєjoѕнυa pee ๏є still trying to get out of this bad place, but cheers man. Your words have made me feel a bit better
The last 7 minutes was suuuch a good conclusion to this video... what he was saying doesn't exclusively apply to music. Skepta is a legend. ♥
can tell skepta really doesn't like talking about kanye and drake
dorito567 Agreed to the both of you guys. dorito567 @matthew whitehouse
I also take into consideration that he wants to symbolize where his craft originated from.Being so,I wouldn't expect him to break pillars,rather than building more in other regions. #manifest #connect
Body language from 23:07 onwards says it all
I think he’s looking at it with a lil hate.America can’t help what it is musically.Its a very big place with a lot of people who are very talented.Dont be bitter towards that because we didn’t ask for that.Hell,It’s slaves families that took what they had and made it something.And he doesn’t have to feel that he’s asking anyone for anything or he doesn’t have to feel like he owes anyone anything.Because really in his need to act like he don’t care and don’t need them he really did to get hisself introduced to the states.Rather he likes it or not that’s the way it is but yes he’s right when he says then we do get to know you for you once we hear your music and see what you can do.I just don’t know why London artist seem to have this tude that they don’t want to need anybody.Everybody needs somebody and once you get exposed of course do you.But,Honestly that’s why they are bitter because they feel like they don’t get the recognition they deserve.They don’t get it because they don’t want to work with anyone.But,That’s one of the reasons American artist blow up around the world because they’re willing to work with others around the world and in America.
Kim Wright bruh that was the most broken n fucking hard to understand comment.. wtf are ur english skills man. is it not ur first language or what like fr half of that i could follow the other half was a mind fuck
n he got that attitude coz it’s the truth g.. some ppl need others to do there own thing and get there shit out there, some don’t. we don’t all need to rely on someone, individuals like skepta don’t need others. the only thing we need are instrumentals and a mic my g, other than that.. don’t need fuck all
mans got a beautiful brain
Earl Sweatshirt and Skepta are making music together, THAT'S SICK.
Can you tell me when he says this cos I don't wanna watch the whole interview, safe
Joseph Stewart he says it in the first few minutes.
xSalamz cheers Bro
+xSalamz when hes not on the Album
cApN_Kato yeah I was disappointed about that.
39:53 "A couple radio presenters are going to go worldwide" - few months later his sister Julie is one of the presents for Beats1 - legend!
Skepta big from early.
I stumble across this a year later unreal. konnichiwa may 6th.
Best interview I've watched in a long while, Skepta's really interesting to listen to and good to see the interviewer knew her stuff, looking forward to Konnichiwa.
1:20:53 until the end Is one of the most inspiring things Ive ever heard an artist say. If you are an artist or creative or just someone with goals and intentions, that shit should light a fire in your belly. Skepta. Powerful.
Nigerians all ways putting it work u go Sketpa that Naija hustler spirits.
This interview has made me look at skepta in a new light because before I wasn't feeling him. Well done lad!
The story about him writing his first grime bars killed me man. Very informative interview
I can't even express how much the last 7 minutes inspired me, especially seeing how much he's grown over the years. Thank you so much Skepta! hope to meet you one day
Straight knowledge. I'm soaking it all in.
The stuff that he says from 1:21 on is soo deep I feel like I should wake up every morning and remind myself of it.
Great interview. Nice to c honegrown talent progress to this status. Listening to Skeppy since day - had no idea he was that deep tho.
"I was working with an up and coming artist called Playboi Carti from Atlanta"
damn. big up
GO ON THEN, DRAW FOR THE 'CHETE
Whole thing is inspirational but the Last 5 minutes. 🙌🏾 Respect to skepta
we are on this ting in Stuttgart, Germany! Big up Skepta!
Been waiting for a interview like this for tiiiiiiiime, skepta the man
big up skepta for this one. this shit really spoke to me especially towards the end. big love for this.
Watched this for the FOURTH time just now... Watched it recently after it came out, again, again now again
So many major keys. Esp for an upcoming Grime Artist such as myself
#GreatnessOnly
SKEPTA! This video took my respect and admiration for mans to another level. Thank you
I didn't think it could get any better, and then out comes the school disco raveparty story, just melting into my chair Long LIve London's best
Never thought I would listen to a full lecture that I can relate to! Credit to the lecturer skeppy...
Great Interview!!.. The Last Part Was Some Real Shit. More Power To The Brudda
skepta has gotta be the most humble guy around more people should be like this in our day and age he actually clearly cares about music!
Sophie Aylward nah coz than we’d have to many skeptas 😂 the way i see it the more headless sheep running around stroking there ego, the more me and skepta look like fucken legends 😂
ive uploaded skepta's new artist in bbk its on my channel NOW 🎤🎧
Great Interview. Well done to the both of you. Bruda Skepta am from The UK, mad love out here. Haha
As soon as he said Playboi Carti.....
"Audi,Beemer,Benz with the roof up" started playing in my head
imagine Run The Jewels ft Skepta
Dat man Der..is amazing..pure inspiration to the scene.. 💯% respect ..#greatness #SKlevels.👊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😉😉✊✊
It Ain't Safe feels so natural, it's definitely a quintessential Skepta chune
Love it already and,he only said Yo😂...just LOVE Skepta.
Really enjoyed this
This is the first time i've seen him smile and laugh
inspirational man, respect skepta
s k e p p y
***** You live in torquay bruv ?
behave kid
+Jays FFA (ShadesTuts) you is a kid bruv
Skepta's inner monologue at 0:40 - "only my mum and dad call me Junior, what makes you so special?"
really dope interview.
Such an inspiration, I'm going to call my firsrt borrn skepta. Long live skepta love you blood
Bruh ‼️
Pres T name drop was big
yeah, the dude who stole a merc, doesn't know how to drive it so reversed it into a guy's car while trying to park it and roamed around with a skaghead white slag. nice.
How do they make music I see the lap top the turn table the wires. I've always wanted to know and learn to make tunes in school I liked messing about on the keyboard. And I love word play bars being creative with words and flow.
Whew! I felt him when he said before I fuck with you like that, are you a good person? Are you sure of yourself? I value that so hard.
Did anyone else think Skepta was trying to introduce his cap at the beginning?
Mans believes in manifestations. That's all the confirmation I needed.
You fucking with that or nah?
@@lucanreynolds947 absolutely
@@DopestArista glad to hear
Thank you!
Very interesting and inspiring.
The knowledge and motivation after watching this tho.....
Amazing advice and inspiration!!!!
Trust me difference between Americans and British is important. Americans show appreciation ten fold and British don't show enough. Americans get big and hide there secrets of success in fear they lose from it and British have a need to share everything they know to help others. Big respects to skepta, his music aside he is trying to help/inspire others to believe inthemselfs for it to be easy for us to do better. Because on the grand scale of things where all just trying to be better people
great lecture
So much respect
Just the feeling.
The gut feeling
that was brilliant!
Helluv an interview.
thats crazy ive been saying for a long time earl is perhaps the greatest lyricists around and for skeppy to want to link up, you just know the end product will be fire

Mad confidence

Wish I had a quid for every time he said like
Big up Septa for not really giving a fuck about Kanye like every other artist, skip is his own man and is one of the few artists that thinks being affiliated with Kanye is not the be all and end all. Also get A$AP Nast on the album pleases
45:41 to hear Skepta gush over D Double E (rightfully so)
Pure knowledge
Since the industrial revolution, Manchester has always been the birthplace of innovation.
i fucking love skepta
The fact that Skepta wanted to work with Earl is insane I wonder how that studio session was
