Ghetts And Skepta Collaborate For ‘IC3’

Ghetts Skepta IC3: Ghetts and Skepta are two of the more regarded OGs in UK hip hop however they’ve never hopped on a track together up to this point.

The song’s title “IC3” alludes to a British police identity code for “Black male.” Over a frosty beat, the two convey a stinging criticism of the racism that they have encountered.

Skepta explicitly addresses denying a MBE (an order of the British Empire award) from the Queen of England for returning home to get a chieftain title in Nigeria: “The Queen offered me the MBE/I said no and I raised my fist/I went home, got my chieftaincy/Now I’m back on the strip.”

Ghetts is comparatively started up: “Don’t tell me to go back where I came from while the queen sits there with stolen jewels/cool, I’ll go back with a chain on/and light up the place like I’m Akon/I got a bullet with your name on.”

Look at the hotly anticipated collaboration, Ghetts featuring Skepta on IC3 beneath and sound off on the remarks with your contemplations.

Lyrical Excerpts

Who would’ve thought back then
We’d be some powerful Black men
Back when we was in estates, I was trapped in trapping
Y’all don’t know how this impacted us
Can’t look a n**** when flats are us
Abandoned flats where the mandem trap
I took a few L’s in my Champion hat
Came back like a champion and landed jabs while being branded Black
