Skepta: Top Boy (The Documentary)
Музыка
This summer Skepta embarked on a sold out tour of East Coast America & Canada, culminating in a performance alongside Drake at the OVO fest in Toronto. Noisey were there throughout the trip to document this milestone in his career. What happened was very spiritual and very crunchy.

Skepta you're a UK/English legend, from making beats, to grime sets in like 04/05 years all the way to this now. badman. respect from Manchester.
respect for Skepta after watching this. This really isn't my kind of music, I like Mumford and Sons ffs, but he's got talent and soul, its exactly what music industry need right now. his flows come from the heart, and he loves the music, thats why he does it. keep going 🙏

No one is more iconic in the UK urban scene than Skepta. He’s the first imo to bring UK rap/grime/afrobeats internationally and he has stayed true to his London heritage

Best doc I seen in a long time. More than just one genre of music.. this what the dream and the grind is all about!!
What a great watch! Proves anything is possible if your willing to work hard. Skepta is riding the wave and still staying humble. Legend.
skepta deserves to be where he is coz he put in the work
he deserves it, UK's most hardest working. Broke urban america bruv. oldtyt skeppy. Big fan since he was a DJ for meridian, mixing in the early days of 2004 circa. The he spat and it heard so natural. Diamond in the dirt!
This man skepta is legendary. It was an honor to be in his presence in NYC twice. lol btw Im the guy in the GONE hat in the beginning
Humble,down to earth ,not corrupted by fame ,the way he treats his fans by saying hello at entrance ,that tells alot about this man, lots of respect for you Skepta ,stay real.

I'd like to thank skepta for this documentary. I'm not an upcoming artist or anything but it's nice to hear his view on things
The way this was filmed made me want to be there firsthand, that looks like a nuts experience. Happy for Skepta, happy for UK music too.
gotta watch this once a year. motivation.

Skepta is one of the best hip hop artists ever to live in my eyes.
Grime legend
skepta is that guy all i can say him and stormzy were the first dudes i listened to from the whole grime seen have such a mad love from it because its so similar to how we speak in jamaica its like am familiar with the dialect and that makes me appreciate it even more
The show in DC was one of the greatest concerts i've ever attended. Love you bro.
A$AP Nast spitting knowledge and truth, that's more respect from me
Absolute madman, mad love for skepta
i love this,and i also love this wizkid ojuelegba song he played on the background it shows he has a lot of respect for him
