In a time where the world needs a pick me up, three of the U.K.’s heavy hitters come together to drop a surprise collaborative album. Skepta, Chip and Young Adz are all well established and successful artists in their own right. While Skepta and Chip have collaborated a number of times in the past, Young Adz is an interesting add to the duo that would normally be spitting over grime beats together. Young Adz, being one half of D Block Europe, is no stranger to chart success. However, their sound shares influences from the more American style auto-tune rap so at a first glance, this collaboration could be very interesting.
In a recent Across The Pond on Chip, we mentioned that he was working on new material but was going to retire soon. Speaking to Apple Music, he stated that Skepta and him had always talked of writing an album but it’s been 10 years and they haven’t. However this time Skepta said “No, I’m serious man, and we need to get Young Adz on a couple of tunes too.” After meeting up the next day and some heavy studio sessions, Insomnia was born.
