Skepta Drops 'Love Me Not' Visuals

Skepta recently dropped cold new visuals for track Love me not. The track is definitely one of the highlights on his latest album ‘Ignorance is Bliss’ , bringing a bubbly UK Garage vibe to the hard hitting album while still packing a powerful message about love and self reflections. This is beautifully executed on the hook by Cheb rabi, while B Live and Skepta go back to back giving a mc rave vibe to the track while staying on topic about women, love and betrayal.

This visuals perfectly capture the essence of the song. It opens with a scene about a girl calling her man frustrated then quickly breaks into UK Garage inspired house party . In typical Garage style most of the people on screen are dressed smart, however the overall vibe of the video is not retro like many Garage visuals that come out today. Instead it is set in current day and feels very modern. A few people make cameos in the music video including Slowthai and Chipmunk as skepta has collaborated with both these artist in the part. You can listen to ‘Love Me Not’ and his latest album release ‘Ignorance is Bliss’ on all streaming services including Apple Music and Spotify,.

Could Freddie Gibbs and Madlib's Bandanna get Album of the Year?

The duo are back again with another groundbreaking project. Bandanna marks the second full length collaboration between Freddie Gibbs and Madlib whom both over time have acquired a cult fanbase. Their last project, 2014’s Piñata, was praised for its mix of Madlib’s ominous and sample heavy soulful beats with Gibbs’ skillfully delivered stories of street life.

The follow up Bandanna only strengthens the duo’s performance as they are more cohesive on this project but still are able execute what they do best. Madlibs delivers smooth soulful beats with unique smoky samples and edgy but artfully executed mixes. While Freddie Gibbs talks about everything from crime, the streets, the drug game, black activism and freedom, transatlantic slave trade and even cheating. This album is especially emotional for Gibbs as many of the raps on the album, were written when he was wrongfully in imprisoned in Austria for a crime he did not commit. He claims this is the best project he has put out so far, this is definitely reflected in the music.

So far the album has received largely positive feedback from reviewers, blogs and radio stations, praised for its complete deviation from current trap heavy sound, making it definitely stand out. Despite its root in more orthodox hip hop sound it is still skillfully executed and feels current and refreshing to listen to. Many have even suggested that it could end up getting album of the year.
