Fred again.., Skepta and PlaqueBoyMax return today with the release of “Victory Lap Five”—the definitive edition of their collaborative track, now featuring fresh contributions from Denzel Curry, Hanumankind, That Mexican OT, and UK grime icon D Double E.
The final cut, which samples LYNY’s “Section,” was first hinted at during Fred’s surprise headline slot at Big Smoke Festival in South London, where he was joined on stage by Skepta, JME, D Double E, Chip, and the wider Boy Better Know crew.
Over the summer, “Victory Lap” has unfolded like a living project—Fred streaming its creation in real-time, fans offering up names for possible features, and each version arriving as a new chapter. The journey culminated in a live performance with Skepta in New York, solidifying the track’s status as one of the most talked-about collaborations of the year.
