Skepta reveals the story behind every ‘Vicious’ track

Skeppy won Halloween again this week with the surprise drop of a new EP, Vicious; a six track project featuring A$AP Rocky, Section Boyz and Lil B.

When “No Security“, “Hypocrisy” and “Worst” dropped, Skepta, elusive as ever, left no clues that the tracks would turn out to form part of a project. Taking to Twitter today he detailed some of the artistry that went into creating the EP, releasing exclusive details on production, recording locations and features.

Check out the Tweets below for some sick depth into the release.

The legend Dev Hynes played the bass riff on the ‘Still’ instrumental. Unforgettable night Electric Lady studios, New York #VICIOUS

Was singing Lil B – ‘Look Like Jesus’ lyrics the whole time I was making the ‘Sit Down’ beat. Made it on an aux cord in an Uber #VICIOUS

Wrote ‘No Security’ lyrics to the Project Pat – ‘Ooh Nuthin’ inst. Quickly realised it was more than a freestyle and made a beat #VICIOUS

The instrumental for ‘Worst’ ft Section Boyz was the last beat I made on my fave Logic 9 before I reluctantly updated to X. #VICIOUS

The instrumental for ‘Hypocrisy’ is the first beat I have released made on Logic X. Sir @msmengineer mixed the fuck out of this. #VICIOUS

Me, Rockman and Nast made ‘Ghost Ride’ wasted at 5am in a London hotel. Then captain Hector Delgado added the chops/scratch magic #VICIOUS
