Rolex Sweep

Skepta

Data

WE SAY

Skepta, an MC from grime group Boy Better Know (of which Wiley is also a member), looks like having a breakout hit with this very catchy companion to Wiley's hit, another Rolex-themed track. The accompanying dance has fueled a strong online and press plot. Playlisted at 1Xtra & Choice an impressive nine weeks upfront of release, R1 plays have come from Jo Whiley, Pete Tong and Zane Lowe. Mixmag gave the single five stars and claimed 'this could spell a new wave of success for UK MCs.'. It should also deliver a hit for Data when it is released in August. Video. JF
