Skepta Overview


Information

Joseph Junior Adenuga, better known as Skepta, is an English MC from Tottenham, London. Originally from and born to Nigerian parents he moved from Lagos to London aged three. He is a producer and DJ commonly associated with the North London Grime scene, including Roll Deep. The name "Skepta" originated from the word "Sceptre", which is what a magician uses. He didn't like the way it was spelt and felt that he wanted a unique stage name so 'that he could type "Skepta" in YouTube and only he would come up.' So, he changed it.
