Said project debuted at No. 2 on the U.K. Albums chart and earned a gold certification. Since then, Skepta teamed up with Chip and Young Adz for the collaborative album Insomnia and kept his fans fed with the EP All In. He could also be heard on songs like AJ Tracey’s “Kiss and Tell,” Frank Ocean’s “Little Demon,” Gorillaz’s “How Far?,” Ghetts’ “IC3,” Headie One’s “Try Me,” Kid Cudi’s “Show Out,” JAE5’s “Dimension” and Davido’s “U (JUJU).”
