Skepta Dropping ‘The Fork and Knife’ on November 6th!

Skepta returns with his highly anticipated new album, The Fork and Knife, out on November 6th. A record rooted in the sounds, energy, and culture of contemporary Britain, while looking firmly beyond its borders.

Shaped by decades spent immersed in sound systems, clubs and rave spaces, The Fork and Knife moves freely between grime, garage, house, jungle, and electronic music. At its center is Skepta as a rapper, writer, and producer – reflecting his position at the center of rap and his instinct to continually push the sound forward.

Identity runs through the heart of the album. Skepta explores what it means to be British, the son of Nigerian immigrants, and to exist between cultures. Rather than viewing diaspora through a lens of struggle, The Fork and Knife embraces it as a source of strength, a superpower that has informed Skepta’s resilience, work ethic, and creative instinct.

The visual world of The Fork and Knife draws on 1980s Nigerian-British imagery, football culture, and documentary realism, connecting the history of the Windrush generation with the energy and reality of modern London.

The Fork and Knife is released via Big Smoke/Epic Records.
