Come April, there are no signs of slowing down, with the BBK don announcing the tracklist and release date for this album Konnichiwa. The highly-anticipated record will arrive on May 6th, and is available to pre-order now. The album will feature some familiar tracks – the aforementioned ‘Shutdown’, JME collaboration ‘That’s Not Me’ as well as ‘Ladies Hit Squad’, starring current Australian visitor D Double E and fashionista ASAP Nast.
Today, Skepta has uploaded another banger titled ‘Man (Gang)’ which you can hear right here:

Other Konnichiwa tracks will feature legends and emerging stars of grime, including ‘Lyrics’ with Novelist and ‘Corn On The Curb’ with Wiley. Notably, ‘Number’ will also feature production legend and all-round don Pharrell Williams. It looks like Skepta’s 12-track effort is going to be huge, while his Australian promoters BBE have stated on Facebook that there’s “lots more good Skepta news incoming” – so hopefully we get another tour before the year closes.
