He is a producer and DJ commonly associated with the North London grime scene, including Roll Deep and Boy Better Know.

Skepta has released five singles off his third studio album Doin' It Again (first with a major label): "Bad Boy", "Rescue Me", "Cross My Heart" featuring Preeya Kalidas, "So Alive" and "Amnesia", as well as a video for "Hello Good Morning" (Grime Remix).

Skepta's second major label album, The Honeymoon, was intended to be released in the fourth quarter of 2011, but was delayed until 2012.

After a disappointing response from the first two singles Skepta decided to release a purchasable mixtape, titled Blacklisted.

In March 2014, Skepta provided a verse for the remix of "German Whip" by Meridian Dan.
