Thanks for reminding :)

and Skepta wins! :cheer:

Skepta seemed like the "right" winner this year, so well done to him. I put money on him winning, so I won £20, which I'm quite happy about.

Weird to think that at the turn of the decade he was pumping out incredibly commercial chart rap/Clubland filler like Rescue Me.

 

I listened to the album when it came out and I remember thinking it was strong and engaging lyrically and musically so no arguments and grime is such a force at the moment that it does deserve the recognition.

Skepta deserved the win for the title track alone. So many strong contenders this year but I'm happy with that outcome!

I'm happy for Skepta! Another artist who showed how powerful independent artist grow this year.

:cheer:

his style turnaround has been amazing. i've been loving the new stuff he's been putting out when i used to see him as a tacky chart rapper like ya say. so well deserved.
