Skepta had a couple of songs on his latest LP, Konnichiwa, that skewed towards more North American sounds, but his new loosie, “Coming Soon,” is certainly his most out-of-character and weirdest collab with an American artist yet, going embracing the playful, cartoonish world of SoundCloud trap on his Makonnen and Céon-assisted “Coming Soon”.
The record wouldn’t have sounded out of
place on Lil Yachty’s last project, and is certainly a surprising move
from Skepta, who nevertheless sounds comfortable on the warm, child-like
instrumental.
While his delivery is a little more
reeled in than usual, his bars are as hard as ever, closing his second
verse with a perfect brag, “dropped Konnichiwa that’s the blueprint now
you’re stuck with me”.
