Skepta returned to the battlefield with “Round 2,” challenging Joyner Lucas with bars and hard-hitting UK flavor.
Skepta wasted no time. He’s fired back at Joyner Lucas with his new diss track “Round 2,” escalating a war of words between the UK grime legend and the US representative.
Coming off the heels of Joyner’s “Nobody Cares,” Skepta came back with a no-frills verbal assault. Over a dark production, Skepta flexed his global status, reminding fans of his triple platinum success in the states and more. He mocked Joyner for only going platinum “rapping in third person.”
He dismissed Joyner’s win over Tory Lanez stating, “I beat you in two lines.”
“I don’t do gimmicks. I do Guinness,” Skepta raps, blending nods to London nightlife and grime. The track dives deeper into UK slang and puts his foe on full blast.
“Round 2” arrives just days after Skepta’s guest appearance during Drake’s headlining Wireless Festival set.
Skepta’s Lucas dis drew mixed reviews, but many felt the whole battle was useless. Joyner Lucas’ “Nobody Cares” also received mixed reviews. Many have felt the beef needlessly pits UK grime against American Hip-Hop.
The ball is now in Joyner Lucas’ court.
