Skepta has confirmed he will drop a new album, 'Knife and Fork', later this year, and the first single, 'Gas Me Up', will be released on January 26th.
Skepta is to release his first new studio album for five years.
The 41-year-old grime rapper - whose last album, 'Ignorance Is Bliss', dropped in May 2019 - took to Instagram to reveal his new record, 'Knife and Fork', will be released later this year.
He wrote: "It’s been years since I dropped my last album and I want to thank you for all the love during my hiatus. I’ve seen the messages, tweets and Tik Toks, I’m truly grateful that my music is still resonating with the world, even in my absence.
I’m happy to announce my next studio album #KnifeAndFork is loading this year (sic)"
Ahead of Skepta's album, the first single, 'Gas Me Up', will drop on January 26th.
He added: "The first single #GasMeUp (Diligent) will be out January 26th
Can’t wait to see you all @bigsmokefestival happy 2024 (sic)"
Skepta is yet to drop any hints about his music style on his upcoming record, but he is known to be a fan of Swedish pop group ABBA.
The star was recently performing a DJ set at Dear Darling nightclub in London's Mayfair, when he stunned revellers by dropping 'Money, Money, Money' into his set as well as other ABBA hits.
A source told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "He was playing some amazing techno house remixes. Then out of nowhere he started playing ABBA songs. He was singing along to the tracks he played and knew all the lyrics to Money, Money, Money.
"Skepta looked totally at home with ABBA and was clearly enjoying it because he was dancing along to them."
