Skepta today releases a brand new track ‘Bullet From A Gun’

Thursday 9th May 2019: Skepta today releases a brand new track ‘Bullet From A Gun’, the first piece of new music to be debuted from his highly anticipated firth album Ignorance Is Bliss. Released on 31st May via Skepta’s own Boy Better Know label, Ignorance Is Bliss is the follow up to his era and genre-defining, UK gold certified album Konnichiwa, which won the coveted Mercury Music Prize and saw Skepta picking up awards and collaborating around the world, including multiple BRIT Awards nominations. From early UK pioneer to global icon, Skepta’s influence is felt throughout contemporary culture.

Authentic, autobiographical and unwaveringly honest, ‘Bullet For A Gun’ is produced by Skepta and Ragz Originale and is Skepta at his uncompromising best, and an enticing glimpse of what fans can expect from Ignorance Is Bliss. It’s the first of two tracks from the album that Skepta will release today to showcase two different sides of the album, with the follow up set for release at 7.30pm BST.

“The internet is making everything and everyone politically correct but that takes away the artistry. Ignorance Is Bliss deals with the yin yang of Life. True Skepta, saying it exactly how it is.” – Skepta, 2019

Meanwhile, Skepta is set to perform across Europe throughout the summer. These shows include a headline appearance at this year’s Field Day Festival (7th June) which takes places at London’s Meridan Water – a stones through from the Meridian Estate where Skepta grew up – and is set to be a huge homecoming show. He is also a headliner at this year’s Manchester International Festival alongside Yoko Ono and Idris Elba & Kwame Kwei-Armah, where we will be debuting his truly unique, immersive DYSTOPIA987 show
