To mark the release of his new single “Shutdown” Skepta visited Capital Xtra’s Manny Norte for an exclusive live on air performance and also revealed some very interesting news.
A little while back actor Idris Elba headed to Twitter to pay homage to the BBK frontrunner with this video, and jokingly asked to be put on the remix:

Skepta clearly thought Elba’s audition was brilliant, thus announcing that he has put the globally renowned actor on the remix alongside “another big rapper”.
He stated, “Basically a lot of people have asked to jump on Shutdown remix, I’m not gonna front, but cause of quality control we wanted to make it really big, it’s all about spreading the British sound and culture.”
