The title itself sets the tone for the record, blending imagery of luxury and street grit—“mink” symbolising opulence, while “SB” anchors it in raw, urban energy. The result is a bold, high-impact track that balances swagger with sophistication.

Sonically, “MINK SB” carries JAE5’s signature touch: deep basslines, crisp percussion, and a rhythmic structure that gives each artist room to shine without overcrowding the production. Skepta steps in with a seasoned, authoritative verse that reinforces his veteran status in UK rap, while Skillibeng injects the track with his energetic, dancehall-inflected cadence.

Holding the record together is Lojay, whose smooth, melodic delivery adds a distinctly Lagos flavour. His hook provides the emotional and sonic bridge that connects the UK and Caribbean influences into a unified Afro-diasporic sound.

At its core, “MINK SB” serves as a musical link between London, Lagos, and Kingston, showcasing how global genres like grime, Afrobeats, and dancehall can coexist seamlessly when guided by the right production vision.

Released under Promised Land Recordings, the single has already begun gaining strong traction on playlists, with early listeners praising its effortless chemistry and international appeal. Critics have described it as another reminder of JAE5’s ability to curate world-class collaborations that feel organic rather than forced.

As the track continues its rollout, “MINK SB” positions itself as a standout global anthem, reinforcing the growing influence of Afro-diasporic collaborations on the international music stage.

The Tottenham-born artist, whose real name is Joseph Junior Adenuga, first teased the project under the working title Knife and Fork, initially eyeing a 2024 release.

Now finalised and ready to go, Skepta describes Fork & Knife as one of his most personal and introspective works yet, diving deep into his Nigerian heritage and life journey.

He revealed that the album’s title was inspired by a saying from his mother:

“In this life, we have to work hard, so one day, we’ll eat with fork and knife.”

For Skepta, that phrase embodies the “immigrant mindset”—the drive, grit, and resilience that turned early struggles into a foundation for success.

Explaining the project’s concept, he said it captures the stark contrast between home and the world outside:

“Being in my house, it smells this way, looks this way, feels this way, sounds this way, and then I leave my house… and it’s like going to Narnia; you’re in the U.K.”

He described Fork & Knife as a “liberating album,” transforming the weight of immigrant trauma into focus, discipline, and ultimately, achievement.

Though Skepta has yet to unveil the tracklist or collaborators, the confirmation alone has sent a wave of excitement across the grime and hip-hop communities.

Beyond the music, Skepta continues to grow his fashion label MAINS, curating art, style, and sound into one creative universe. With Fork & Knife, he appears ready to close one era and open another—a reflective, powerful chapter that promises to remind fans why he remains one of Britain’s most influential voices.

Each year, the world waits to see who will earn GQ’s coveted “Man of the Year” title, a recognition reserved for those shaping culture in bold and lasting ways.

From Anthony Joshua to David Beckham, Jared Leto, and Paul Mescal, the list has always celebrated icons who push boundaries. But this year’s British GQ edition takes it a step further for its first-ever “Men of the Year” issue; the spotlight lands on Skepta, and honestly, no one deserves it more.

As part of GQ’s 2025 feature, “The People Who Shaped Culture,” Skepta stands alongside other creative heavyweights like Lewis Capaldi, Jack O’Connell, and Tom Hiddleston. Yet, what makes his moment special is that it captures Skepta at a different stage of life, one focused on legacy.

At 43, Joseph Junior Adenuga, better known as Skepta, has evolved from a grime trailblazer to a full-blown British cultural institution.

A post shared by British GQ (@britishgq)

The Tottenham-born rapper, producer, and designer has spent over two decades shaping how the world sees and hears British creativity.

From his explosive early grime anthems like “Shutdown” and “That’s Not Me” to the global rise of his fashion brand Mains, Skepta has never just followed trends he’s built them. His artistry has always been bigger than music; it’s about identity, influence, and empowerment.

And while some veterans cling to their status, Skepta’s mindset has always been about giving back. One of his favorite sayings and once his phone wallpaper — reads:

“The meaning of life is to make it easier for the next generation.”

It’s not just a quote; it’s how he lives. Whether through his Big Smoke Festival in South London, a platform merging global stars with underground talent, or his open support for young creatives, Skepta continues to dismantle outdated ideas of gatekeeping.

As he put it best:

“Old people are always gonna be old people. There ain’t no gatekeepers. Whoever thinks they’re a gatekeeper needs to look again at that gate.”

From grime pioneer to global visionary, Skepta’s recognition as British GQ’s first-ever Man of the Year feels less like an award and more like a well-earned chapter in a legacy that’s still unfolding.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, October 26, 2025, the UK grime pioneer dropped a teasing but powerful message:

 “Big Smoke pelu Big Money @asakemusik.”

In Yoruba, “pelu” means “and”, translating the post to “Big Smoke and Big Money.” The meaning wasn’t lost on fans — “Big Smoke” being Skepta’s iconic moniker and “Big Money” a fitting reference to Asake’s chart-topping success and flashy style.

Within hours, the tweet gained massive traction, with fans dissecting every clue.

Big Smoke pelu Big Money @asakemusik ⏳⏳

The inclusion of an hourglass emoji only heightened speculation that the collaboration’s release might be imminent.

If the hints are true, this union promises to be one of the most electrifying crossovers of 2025.

Skepta, famed for fusing grime with global influences, and Asake, who’s revolutionized Afrobeats with his Fuji-inspired street-pop sound, are expected to create something both experimental and explosive.

While details like the song’s title and release date remain under wraps, anticipation is already sky-high across Nigeria, the UK, and beyond.

One thing’s certain — when “Big Smoke” meets “Big Money,” the soundwaves won’t stay quiet for long.

Released amid a flurry of heavyweight African music drops, including Burna Boy’s No Sign of Weakness and ODUMODUBLVCK’s surprise release, Tiwa steps away from the noise to deliver a deeply intimate record that feels more like a diary than just an album.

The rollout began on August 1 when Tiwa shared a striking visual on Instagram: seated on a pile of colorful mattresses, boombox in hand, hinting at the raw honesty the project would hold.

Recorded over two years in Nashville, Malibu, and Lagos, the album gradually built anticipation through singles like You4Me and On A Low featuring Skepta, both of which drew praise for their soulful R&B textures.

Running at 42 minutes, This One Is Personal blends Afrobeats, soul, and Afro-fusion into a cohesive sonic journey. Tiwa keeps collaborations minimal, making every guest appearance purposeful—Skepta on the dark-toned On A Low, Taves on the smooth Addicted, and James Fauntleroy on the touching Change.

Standout solo cuts include the emotive, piano-led “I’m Done” and the fiery “You’re Not the First (You’re Just the Worst),” each track showcasing Savage’s unmatched vocal strength and storytelling ability.

Executive produced by Tiwa herself alongside Vannessa Amadi-Ogbonna and Mystro, the album carries an international polish without losing its personal edge.

Although some critics argue that the sparse features may limit its mainstream appeal, the project’s emotional depth gives it strong replay value and potential for long-term resonance. The next phase, its visuals, will determine how far this story travels commercially.

Now available across all streaming platforms, This One Is Personal is not just Tiwa Savage’s boldest statement yet—it’s her most human. Whether celebrated as a classic or debated for its stripped-down approach, one thing is certain: this album demands to be felt as much as it is heard.

Afrobeats queen Tiwa Savage has lifted the veil on the official tracklist for her much-anticipated album, This One Is Personal, set for release on August 29, 2025.

The 15-track project is described as one of her most heartfelt and emotionally charged works yet, weaving themes of love, resilience, and self-discovery.

Song titles like Angel Dust, Scared of Love, and You’re Not the First (You’re Just The…) hint at raw vulnerability and deep personal reflections. An interlude of the same name, This One Is Personal, anchors the album’s identity.

The album boasts heavyweight collaborations, including UK rap star Skepta, Grammy-winning songwriter James Fauntleroy, and Nigerian rising act Taves, a lineup that promises a fusion of Afrobeats with rap, R&B, and soulful influences.

For over a decade, Tiwa Savage has cemented her place as one of Afrobeats’ most powerful voices, constantly redefining sound and storytelling. With this new project, she looks poised to deliver another career-defining moment.

In a surprise gesture to fans, Tiwa also announced a free concert in London to celebrate the release.

As August 29 approaches, anticipation is running high globally for what could be one of Tiwa’s most defining musical chapters yet.

Tiwa Savage & Skepta – On The Low Lyrics

Intro
Uhhh-uhhhh
Uhhh-uhhhh
Uhhh-uhhhh
Ohhhh yeahhh
Uhhh-uhhhh
On the low
Uhhh-uhhhh
On the low

Verse 1
Yeah
I am off tour
We should celebrate
Dedicate some time for you
Baby, it’s a date
I can’t be late, gotta regulate
Cause I hate dirty looks on your pretty face
Maybach, I pulled up on a shitty day
I told her bring a passport
Told her, bring a case
Flight for a couple days
We should take a trip away
There’s no time like to the present
We’re getting lit today

Pre-Chorus
Say you wanna link on the low
Lay in between the sheets on the low
So that no one could see us on the low
Make we just creep dip it though
I know you want to link on the low
We have to stay discreet
You don’t know
And now, we’re on the street on the low
And if they asking about we, I don’t know

Chorus
We turn nothing into something
And say that it’s nothing
Stop all the fronting
When we both know we’re talking
It’s our love of discussion
We don’t do much discussing
So don’t act like there’s nothing
When we both know there’s something
There’s something you know

Verse 2
You know you make me vex on the low
Boy, you make me stressed, you don’t know
Then you send me sweet texts on the low
So now, I can’t leave you alone
Yeah, might be in too deep
Can’t save myself, gonna lose it
Feel like I rendering a service
And you give me a tip
Mind going crazy chasing lucid dreams

Chorus
We turn nothing into something
And say that it’s nothing
Stop all the fronting
When we both know we’re talking
It’s our love of discussion
We don’t do much discussing
So don’t act like there’s nothing
When we both know there’s something
There’s something you know

Outro
I am off tour
We should celebrate
Dedicate some time for you
Baby, it’s a date
I can’t be late, gotta regulate
Cause I hate dirty looks on your pretty face
Maybach, I pulled up on a shitty day
I told her bring a passport
Told her, bring a case
Flight for a couple days
We should take a trip away
There’s no time like the present
We’re getting lit today

Their new single, “On The Low,” is a seamless blend of Afrobeats elegance and British grime grit, serving as a striking prelude to Tiwa’s forthcoming album, This One Is Personal.

After weeks of cryptic teasers and social media whispers, the duo finally delivered on fan speculation. Produced by Rymez, On The Low is a cross-continental groove where Tiwa’s sultry vocals intertwine with Skepta’s razor-sharp delivery, creating a soundscape that’s both smooth and assertive. It’s a collaboration that feels destined rather than manufactured.

Both artists, deeply rooted in Nigerian heritage yet thriving in different cultural spheres, meet at the crossroads of their identities. Tiwa brings her Lagos-bred Afrobeats finesse, while Skepta injects raw energy from London’s rap underground. The result is a track that bridges continents with ease and celebrates the power of the global Black diaspora.

A post shared by Tiwa Savage (@tiwasavage)

With Tiwa’s fourth studio album slated for release on August 29, 2025, On The Low sets the tone for what’s to come — a project rumored to be her most personal and genre-defying to date. The single doesn’t just build anticipation; it affirms Tiwa’s place at the epicenter of the global Afrobeats movement.

It’s also a landmark moment for Skepta, whose rare collaborations outside the UK scene are always intentional. Here, he offers grit without overshadowing Tiwa’s sensuality, resulting in a true sonic partnership rather than a clash of styles.

In a music era increasingly driven by algorithmic pairings, On The Low is refreshingly authentic. It doesn’t chase trends — it sets one. With this track, Tiwa and Skepta don’t just connect Lagos and London, they reaffirm their statuses as boundary-breakers in an ever-evolving global soundscape.

Nigerian music diva Tiwa Savage has once again got social media buzzing after an exchange with British-Nigerian rapper Skepta on X (formerly Twitter) stirred curiosity among fans.

The Afrobeats sensation, who is a proud mother of one, recently collaborated with Skepta on a nostalgic new single titled “On The Low”, a track that blends smooth vibes with undeniable chemistry.

Shortly after the release, Skepta took to his official X handle to promote the track, sharing a photo of himself with Tiwa alongside a playful caption:

“Wahala #OnTheLow.”

Pleased with the shoutout and the collaboration, Tiwa quoted the post and responded with a cheeky tweet of her own:

“Call me 😝😘.”

U and Opue 😜😂 na 5&6

The flirty banter didn’t go unnoticed. A user on X, identified as @amkareto, joined the conversation with a teasing comment that implied a romantic link between the two music stars:

“U and Opue 😜😂 na 5&6.”

To the amusement of many, Tiwa Savage didn’t shy away from the suggestive undertone. Instead, she doubled down with a bold reply:

“Before nko 🤣.”

Her candid response has since sparked mixed reactions online, with fans weighing in on her playful nature and the chemistry between the two artists.

While some praised her for being unapologetically expressive, others speculated whether something more than music could be brewing between Tiwa and Skepta.

The track “On The Low” is currently gaining traction across digital platforms, with fans already calling it one of the year’s most vibey collaborations.

In a video that has been making the rounds on social media, the celebrated singer didn’t hold back as she gave fans a playful insight into her dating experiences.

Despite her global fame, chart-topping hits, and iconic fashion sense, Tiwa reminded everyone that love doesn’t always go as planned even for superstars.

During the candid moment, the Somebody’s Son crooner shared her admiration for British rapper Skepta, describing her ideal man as stylish, attractive, and effortlessly confident. But in a funny twist, she admitted that the kind of men gravitating toward her are the complete opposite of what she desires.

“I want a guy like Skepta,” she said with a laugh, “but I keep getting funny-looking men.”

Tiwa, who shares a son with her former husband and ex-manager Tunji “Tee Billz” Balogun, has often faced public attention when it comes to her personal life. Yet, she consistently handles the spotlight with grace, humor, and authenticity.

Whether she’s dropping bangers or serving sass with honesty, Tiwa Savage continues to prove that being a superstar doesn’t mean having it all figured out especially when it comes to matters of the heart.
