Skepta returns with his new track "Gas Me Up [Diligent]"
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 Fork – his 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.
