Skepta Announces New Album The Fork and Knife

Skepta has announced a new album titled The Fork and Knife, scheduled for release on Friday, November 6. While writing and producing the project, Skepta drew inspiration from diverse musical styles, including grime, garage, jungle, and electronic music. The album will explore themes of identity, diaspora, and the blending of cultures. Its visual world references 1980s Nigerian-British visuals, football culture, and documentary realism. The announcement arrived several weeks after the release of Innocent Smile, a collaboration with Suggs and Chase & Status.

In October 2025, Skepta released the single Sirens (From Ireland), which features a Garda vehicle on its cover. Prior to this, Skepta released the album Skepta...Fred with British DJ Fred Again.. in August 2025. That same month, Skepta played tracks from the upcoming album during a set at Reading Festival. Following an August performance at Electric Picnic, Skepta shared on Instagram that it was one of the best shows of his career.

Skepta emerged from the United Kingdom underground grime scene and released the debut album Greatest Hits in 2007. In addition to these projects, Skepta also records electronic music under the name Mas Tiempo and founded the fashion brand MAINS.
