Octavian and Skepta have teamed up on their new track, ‘Papi Chulo’. It follows on from their last collaboration, ‘Love Me Not’, out last year. The music video that accompanies the song features cameos from A$AP Ferg, A$AP Nast, and Michael Phantom.

Check it out at the link below. For the two grime icons, it’s been a busy time of late. Octavian released his latest mixtape, ‘Endorphins’, not long after his win at the BBC Sound of 2019. On the mixtape features the collaboration, ‘Bet’, between the rapper, (real name Octavian Oliver Godji), and Skepta.

For Skepta, he released ‘Ignorance Is Bliss’ last year, to rave reviews from critics. NME hailed it “a diverse-sounding, assured success, a muscular record that conveys global ambition, drawing on a dizzying collection of sounds and influences.”

In November last year, Skepta & AJ Tracey released the music video for their single, ‘Kiss & Tell’.

The music video depicts Skepta and AJ Tracey in a hotel, the footage appearing almost grainy and homemade, mixed with shots from his ‘Ignorance Is Bliss’ Tour, with AJ Tracey serving as a supporting act. ‘Kiss & Tell’ was produced by Skepta.

Boardmasters recently announced the line-up for their 2020 festival. As well as The 1975 and Kings Of Leon, Skepta is also slated to headline. The festival runs from August 5-9 at Fistral Beach and Watergate Bay in Newquay, Cornwall.

2020 marks the festival’s 40th anniversary. Skepta will headline on Friday, with Kings of Leon on the day after, and The 1975 bringing the festival to a close.

Other acts scheduled for the festival include Little Simz, Dizzee Rascal, Mura Masa, Sam Fender, and The Kooks. Indie acts Mabel and Loyle Carner are also billed. Check out the full line up from their Twitter post below.

Plus, joined by Lewis Capaldi and Tyler The Creator, Skepta will be headlining Manchester’s Parklife 2020. This is the UK’s largest metropolitan festival.
