What it’s about
Arriving as part of his 2012 album Blacklisted, this extended rap cut clocks in at over six minutes under 3Beat. Going by the title, the track hints at themes around calculation, street logic, or working out life’s moving parts. Though Skepta is widely known for weaving rap and hip hop with African music influences across his career, this earlier explicit release places him squarely in his hip hop element. Without the lyrics on hand, the mathematical phrasing points toward a methodical, thought-out lyrical delivery that demands patient listening.
