On 31st May, Skepta ended weeks of fevered anticipation by releasing his highly anticipated fifth studio album, Ignorance Is Bliss. An instant hit with fans and critics alike, the record was met with huge, widespread acclaim and entered the UK album charts at number two.

Released via Skepta’s own Boy Better Know label, Ignorance Is Bliss is the follow up to his era defining Konnichiwa album. Brilliantly uncompromising, authentic and unwavering in its desire to push boundaries, it’s set to go down as Skepta’s best album to date. Skepta takes the lead / sole producer role on the majority of the record alongside the likes of Ragz Originale, Ayo, IndigoChildRick and Trench, and collaborations with Nafe Smallz, Key, J Hus, Cheb Rabi & B Live, Lancey Foux, Lay Z & Wizkid and BBK.
