Skepta has returned with the release of his new track, "Gas Me Up [Diligent]", which fans gave the nickname 'Diligent' following a viral teaser dropped in April 2023.

Produced by Cardo, the track is the latest preview of his forthcoming highly anticipated album, Knife and Forkhis first in three years.

"Gas Me Up [Diligent]" serves as the credits in Skepta’s debut film, Tribal Mark, which explores the narrative of a Nigerian immigrant in London with Skepta starring in and serving as co-director and executive producer of the film. With a 90% minority ethnic cast and production team, the film stands as a landmark project from Skepta's 1PLUS1 Production company.

The release follows the announcement of the line-up for Skepta’s Big Smoke Festival which happens in London on July 6th. Skepta will perform, as will Mas Tiempo and Mahalia, with The Streets announced as a headliner.

"Gas Me Up [Diligent]" is out now.
