What it’s about
Arriving as part of his 2012 album Blacklisted, this explicit hip hop track showcases Skepta working under the 3Beat imprint. While full lyrics are not detailed here, the title hints at themes of taking charge, setting paces, and kicking off significant moves. Running for close to four minutes, it captures the British-Nigerian artist firmly within his rap roots long before his later link-ups with Nigerian heavyweights like Wizkid, Davido, and Naira Marley. It stands as an assertive chapter in his wide-ranging musical journey.
