Grime legend Skepta is back with a new single – “That’s Not Me” – featuring the lyrical talents of his brother and long-time Boy Better Know collaborator JME. The track sees the pair spitting stone-cold flows, trading verses and sharing their experiences of the music industry over a haunting instrumental.
Originally teased as a freestyle in a documentary-style short film shot by Uzi, hype around the track has built quickly. A follow up official video features Skepta and JME performing the track over footage from the original film.
Given its first radio play by Rinse FM’s Julie Adenuga on her Drive Time show the single has already been playlisted by Rinse, 1Xtra and CapitalXtra with strong support over at Kiss FM and Vertex FM too.
Early champions of the track include Semtex, MistaJam, Trevor Nelson, Toddla T, DJ Cameo, Anusha and Jon James – it’s currently Number 1 on DJ Cameo’s UKG Top 5 on 1Xtra.
“That’s Not Me” is a taste of what’s to come from Skepta’s forthcoming album Konichiwa the much anticipated follow up to his critically acclaimed Blacklisted mixtape.
