Skepta Vinyl Records
A veteran of the U.K. grime scene, Skepta is one of the most internationally recognized British hip-hop figures. The MC, producer, and record-label owner was influential in grime's shift from the underground to the pop charts during the 2000s, thanks in part to the success of his Boy Better Know collective, as well as its resurgence during the mid-2010s. With the release of his fourth album, 2016's Konnichiwa, Skepta made his commercial and critical breakthrough, winning that year's Mercury Prize and earning gold certification.
