Pure Water (Skepta song)

"Pure Water" is a song by English grime artist Skepta, released as a single in 2018 by Boy Better Know.

[1] The song references the sachets of water that are sold by street vendors in West Africa.

[3] Stereogum stated that the song starts with a "nursery rhyme riff before slinking into a rubbery, muscular beat", with Skepta rapping "Pure water and lots of ice/ She knows that I be the boss of life.

"[4] Noisey pointed out the song's use of puns in relation to the title, including references to "ice", and complimented Skepta's wit, as well as how he sounds over the "sparse, percussive beat".

[5] Complex called the track "ice cold" and said Skepta delivers his "trademark flow over self-produced signature sounds", calling it "another entry into a long line of bass-heavy, all-out grime tracks in his back catalogue".
