Skepta's career is one of diversity and adaptability. The Tottenham rapper and DJ has experimented a lot over his roughly two-decade-long run in the hip-hop industry. From grime, and trap, to EDM even, the man has many tools in the tool belt. Back in mid-October, the 41-year-old put out a single that saw him bring a new twist to an Amy Winehouse classic, "Tears Dry On Their Own." The track was retitled as "Can't Play Myself (A Tribute To Amy)."
That was the most recent addition to Skepta's new house-focused label, Más Tiempo. The entertainment group is a joint effort with a familiar face from Boy Better Know, Jammer. With all of that going on, he has not been able to put a lot of energy into his solo career. It has been four years since his last effort, Ignorance is Bliss. But, he seems to getting back into it a bit by teaming up with a rising producer, Ryder.

Listen To 48 Hours By Ryder And Skepta
The 19-year-old hails from Kingston upon Hull, which is located in England. According to NME, he got a little TikTok virality after posting a rendition of one of Skepta's cuts. Ryder went in and redid "Text Me Back" from Konnichiwa. That led to the two talents connecting to come out with a new EP, 48 Hours. There are two new songs, "All Alone" and "For You" with extra vocals from Dré Six. After that are tracks titled "#skeptacore." There are three parts and one of them sees a twist on "Bullet From A Gun." The beats provide some extra emotional weight to match the deep-cutting lyrics from Skepta. It is worth a serious listen.
