Can you believe it’s been six years since we last got a solo Skepta album?

The legend is back. Skepta, widely regarded as one of the greatest UK rappers of all time, has officially announced his new album FORK & KNIFE, set to arrive in early 2026.

This will mark Skepta’s first solo studio album since 2019’s Ignorance is Bliss, a project that showcased his evolution from grime pioneer to global figure. Since then, Skepta has kept fans satisfied with collaborative releases like Insomnia (with Chip and Young Adz) and Skepta.. Fred with Fred again.. — the latter featuring the Grammy-nominated track “Victory Lap” with PlaqueBoyMax.

While details about FORK & KNIFE remain tightly under wraps, fans are already buzzing with anticipation. Given Skepta’s consistent ability to push sonic boundaries and represent UK rap at the highest level, expectations are sky-high.

Whether this album will see Skepta return to his raw grime roots or continue his genre-blending experimentation remains to be seen — but one thing’s for sure: when Skepta drops, you have to drop whatever you’re doing, including your girl.
