Skepta, a British rapper of Nigerian descent, has teamed up with Wizkid, Afrobeat star, for his latest 13-track album titled, ‘Ignorance is Bliss’.
The UK grime rapper, whose real name is Joseph Junior Adenuga, comes through with his new body of work, three years after dropping ‘Konnichiwa’ -a Mercury Prize-winning album.
In his fifth album, Skepta ushers listeners to his opinion on core social conversations like political hypocrisy, fatherhood, relationship dramas and crime.
