Skepta has been on an absolute tear lately; between the “Ojuelegba” remix, a personal favorite in “Shutdown“, and appearing on stage with Kanye West, things have definitely been heating up for the Tottenham MC, and “Top Boy” is an accurate soundtrack for his recent and pending successes.
While success in the US has never been the only measure of a career, it would certainly add more stripes to Skepta’s already decorated tracksuit. Making the jump to the US market is often a daunting task, but Skepta’s talent (and not just lyrically- he produced “Top Boy” alongside Luke Pryde) has already made the jump to undeniable. Like he himself says in the track, “It’s all a matter of time before you see the top boy shine”. By now, I’m convinced. If you need me, I’ll be buying a tracksuit.
