Skepta announces Ignorance Is Bliss, new album forthcoming on May 31st

Following the widely acclaimed Konnichiwa, released in 2016, the UK grime pionneer just announced a new album.

Throughout his carreer, Tottenham-born from Nigerian parents Skepta has shaped the UK grime sound and helped it skyrocket into the widely-known music genre it is today, while becoming one of the main faces of the scene.

After Konnichiwa, his Mercury Prize-winning LP, he dropped a solid EP called Vicious, featuring several heavyweight collaborations with artists such as Lil B, A$AP Rocky, A$AP Nast, and Section Boyz.

He recently announced a new upcoming album called Ignorance Is Bliss in an Instagram post, unveiling the artwork designed by Manu Pillai.
