Tonight Julie Adenuga has put together a special ‘warm up’ for the release of Skepta’s album ‘Konnichiwa’ in the second hour of her Beats 1 show.
Lock in to catch Julie playing classic Skepta tracks and having some BIG conversations with Lethal Bizzle, Elf Kid and Logan Sama about the release of ‘Konnichiwa’ about what it means to UK music and what Skepta now represents across the world, celebrating everything about Skepta’s career so far on the eve of the release of this exciting release.
We’ve picked out a couple of gems ahead of the show for you from each of Julie’s guests, check them out below and make sure you lock in to Beats 1 tonight from 9PM to catch this very special warm up party.
Lethal Bizzle talking to Julie about what it means for the grime scene: “I feel like this is going to be the ‘Boy In Da Corner’ status album” / “I feel like it’s a really important time for UK culture.”
Logan Sama talking about the difference the album will make for grime on a global scale: “Every scene, every community has a champion, someone who’s out there waving the flag in the battlefield, carrying the name on their shoulders.”
Elf Kid about how Skepta is influencing new grime artists now: “He’s always known himself, known what he’s on, what he’s doing.. he comes correct every time.”
