Skepta on working with Pharrell: 'His music is always sick'

Skepta has confirmed that Pharrell Williams will feature on his new album.

The grime act is due to release his latest effort 'Konnichiwa' on May 6.

Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music, the Brit said that Pharrell has a golden touch when it comes to making music.

Skepta said: "Pharrell loves music.  don't know how much money he has, or how much he's trying to make. But I know whatever financial situation he's in his music is always going to be sick.

"When I'm in the studio with him it's like I'm working with someone I've known all my life." 

"I knew I had an obligation to represent the country when I did this album. Not just different MCs, but sonically. I know what is on my back with this album and I've got every element from London needed.

"I don't want to announce the MCs but it's very well rounded. And Pharrell's blessed me. People respect him. I don't think grime has ever been respected, it's not seen as a nice sound.

"But having Pharrell bless my album, maybe you can see that the freeness of his music; that's what we're doing as well."

Skepta meanwhile has just released the new track 'Man', which can be heard below.
