As grime continues to make its way into mainstream airwaves, genre pioneer Skepta drops the visual presentation aligning with the release of his single “Shutdown.” Directed by FKA twigs collaborator Grace LaDoja, the video features the UK artist reciting his track at London’s Barbican performing arts center, supported in numbers around him. The artist effectively sets the mood for his video by donning an all-white getup during the sunny hours, before trading his grab for a stealthy black ensemble in the nighttime. Look for Skepta’s forthcoming album Konnichiwa, due sometime this year, and visit SoundCloud for more of his music.
