== Career ==
Born in North London, Skepta began rapping in 2005 as part of Meridian Crew, however the group soon disbanded and so he founded the collective and label Boy Better Know with his brother Jme. In 2006 he released his debut mixtape Joseph Junior Adenuga. In September 2007 he released his debut studio album Greatest Hits. His second album Microphone Champion was released in 2009 and two of the singles charted in the UK. His third album Doin' It Again was released in 2011 and charted at number 19 in the UK. 
Skepta planned to release another album in 2011 to be titled The Honeymoon however the first two singles off the album were poorly received and so he delayed it to 2012. However, he then decided to release the album as a mixtape insteadd, being title Blacklisted and released in late-2012. In May 2016 he released his fourth studio album Konnichiwa which debuted at number 2 on the UK charts, the highest charting grime album at the time.
In October 2017 he released Vicious EP. He has also achieved some notability in the US thanks to collaborations with Drake and A$AP Rocky.
