Adding to the anticipation, he revealed that a lead single titled “Gas Me Up (Diligent)” will be released later this month, offering a preview of the upcoming project. Expressing gratitude for the ongoing support during his hiatus, Skepta acknowledged the messages and love from fans, stating, “It’s been years since I dropped my last album, and I want to thank you for all the love during my hiatus. I’ve seen the messages, tweets, and Tik Toks; I’m truly grateful that my music is still resonating with the world, even in my absence.”
As of now, Skepta has not disclosed specific details regarding the release date of his highly anticipated sixth studio album, “Knife and Fork,” except for the lead single “Gas Me Up (Diligent)” dropping on January 26. Fans can eagerly anticipate further updates as the artist’s rollout continues in the coming months, leading up to the Big Smoke Festival scheduled for July 6 in Crystal Palace Park.
