Shutdown
Skepta
With his fourth album, Konnichiwa, delayed beyond the anticipated March release, to keep his fans at bay Skepta released “Shutdown,” which he later incorporated into both Konnichiwa and The Tim Westwood Mix.
Before the official release, he teased at “Shutdown” through several Vine clips ultimately allowing Ragz Originale, co-producer, to announce the official release date.

The song dropped just 4 days after Skepta was featured in Kanye West’s performance of “All Day” at the 2015 Brit Awards.
Drake, who thanked Skepta in the If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late album credits, is sampled on the track’s intro and outro skits. Later, the two performed “Shutdown” together at London’s Wireless festival in the summer of 2015.
