Joseph Junior Adenuga (born 19 September 1982), better known by his stage name Skepta, is an English rapper, grime artist, songwriter and record producer of Nigerian descent. He is also the brother of fellow musician JME. Similarly to his brother he is most commonly known for releasing grime music. He released his debut studio album Greatest Hits in late 2007 and his second, Microphone Champion in 2009, both independently, while his third studio album Doin' It Again was released in 2011 by 3 Beat Records. His fourth studio album, Konnichiwa, is expected to be released in 2016.
Skepta was originally a DJ from Broughton-based grime crew Meridian Crew, early in his career Skepta released a number of instrumentals the most notable of which were "DTI (Pirate Station Anthem)" and "Private Caller", the latter of which was released as a single and vocaled by various other members of Meridian Crew. Skepta began emceeing shortly before Meridian Crew disbanded in 2005, after which Skepta, alongside his brother JME, joined Roll Deep for a short period of time before becoming founding members of Boy Better Know in 2006. In 2006 he clashed Devilman for the DVD Lord of the Mics 2 in what is remembered as one of the biggest grime clashes. This clash created a long running dispute between the two MCs culminating in war dubs being exchanged in 2015.

Skepta ft JME - That's Not Me released 8th June - available on iTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/thats-not-me-feat.-jme-single/id872559345 Skepta & Jammer speak to Westwood backstage after the show in London about the new single That's Not Me ft JME, Skepta's new album Konnichiwa, putting on a legendary live performance & Grime.
Back in February, Drake caused a stir after posting on Instagram that he was the "first Canadian signed to Boy Better Know." Considering Drake is still releasing music through his deal with Young Money, many fans were confused by the prospect of him signing to Skepta's relatively small, UK-based grime label. After months of silence on the subject, Skepta attempted to provide some clarity about Drake's original comments in an interview with Time Out London. "We’re putting together an official worldwide BBK label," he said, "but we haven’t talked about how it’ll work yet. It’ll be separate to his existing contracts. Trust me, I am not gonna sue Lil Wayne." Subscribe to our New Complex Channel: https://goo.gl/43ac5w Subscribe to Complex for More: http://goo.gl/PJeLOl Check out more of Compl...

You've spent your whole life looking for love
You couldn't find anything
You've been searching for trust
Keep your baggage in the hallway, it's okay
You've been driving the wrong way, all day
Little did you know, you're somebody's everything
Yeah, yeah
The phone in the surgery just keeps on ringing
She just wants to feel like she's alive, so the doctors are making a killing
Fighting and losing the battle against Photoshop while the papers are winning
Still no sign of the finishing line but way too far from the beginning
Her body wasn't growing as fast as all the other girls in the school
She eventually started to catch feelings when everybody was hurling abuse
Swerving the truth, Mum's telling her she's killing her body but still
She's felt like the abuse has left more scars the any type of surgery will
Now she's all grown up, if only Dad would of shown more love
Then she wouldn't be seeking attention from all these other guys in the club
A good girl in a wrong dress, confidence got taken away
Now all she's left with is a complex, another victim of a next sexual conquest
Yeah
As a wise lady once said, love the skin you're in
Because beauty has no rules
If they're trying to sell an impossible dream to a fool
Then, you ain't the fool to buy one
These pictures and publications have got people packing their bags for a journey that has no destination
But who am I kidding?
Every day I'm with different women
Pocket full of twenty pound notes, she likes receiving and I like giving
So I just sit in my chair, vision impaired, she's kissing my ear
And I'll probably say some hypocritical shit like "why's a pretty lady like you gotta work in here?"
