Inside Skepta’s Creative Tower: Why He’s More Than Just a Grime Legend.

Skepta’s latest Dazed interview gives us a front-row seat to the mind of an artist who’s been dreaming big since day one. When he says he never thought he’d do music on a “small scale,” you can’t help but feel that unstoppable confidence. Calling your debut album Greatest Hits just a year after starting? That’s pure nerve—and Skepta owned it.

Right now, he’s holed up in what he calls his “tower” a mix of design studio, recording booth, and home base where he’s crafting his new album, Knife and Fork. And get this: some days he doesn’t even leave. He’s living, working, and even reading bedtime stories to his kids all in that same space. Talk about dedication.

What’s clear is Skepta isn’t chasing fame. He straight-up says, “I hate being famous.” For him, it’s about the music, the art, and pushing boundaries. His last album, Ignorance Is Bliss, might not have grabbed the same spotlight as Konnichiwa, but it was a statement piece—raw, real, and defiant against the powers that be.

At Blanck, we’re here for this kind of creative rebirth. Skepta reminds us that success isn’t about the glitz  it’s about staying true, grinding in your own space, and always evolving. His Dazed feature isn’t just a cover; it’s a vibe, a story, and a call to keep pushing.
