Top Producers

Skepta “The African Hottie” and Jammer AKA. The Murkle Man’s hilarious diss-track “Swag MC Burial” are taking shots at half the grime scene, with Skepta’s verse single-handedly putting an end to rival crew SLK.

Vice: What’s with all the name calling? Jammer: We’re just cleaning out the scene, getting rid of all the swag MCs. I’ve been here from day, so anyone who I say is appalling is over. I said Double O and Napper are the swaggest MCs in the scene and now they go to raves and get air.Lethal B is a wasteman. He called me out on Westwood, so now when he goes to Boundary, I know he’s shook. It’s called elimination.

Who’s the top producer, Skepta or Jammer? Skepta: Me man, standard. Jammer: What? You could never talk to me when it comes to top producer. Skepta: Shut up, I’ve had much more hits than you. Jammer: “D.T.I.”—one hit wonder, blud. I’ve had bare classics. Skepta started off makin’ bootlegs, I started making hits. “Birds In The Sky”, “Take You Out”: bare classics. Skepta: Are you dumb inna your head piece? You’re always copying my flows—and I get more girls than you. Jammer: How could you get more girls when you say, “It’s the boy with the picky afro”? Skepta: Nah man, you don’t get more girls than me. You’ve been getting a few since the “Murkle Man” video came out but I get more than you, standardly. Jammer: Skepta gets white girls and transvestites. I get all of the quality chicks that you see in the scene and the industry chicks. Skepta’s girl is the fat one from the “Murkle Man” video —that’s his wifey.
