The pair share a birthday
UK urban legends Skepta and Goldie are teaming up for a new joint single.
The pair’s collaboration, ‘Upstart (Road Trip)’ is set for a limited 12″ vinyl release via Metalheadz on December 22.
“Goldie and Skepta share a birthday, an elemental connection and an impeccable taste in beats,” explains Metalheadz on its Bandcamp. “Upstart is the blistering outcome of their studio sessions together – a fierce, futuristic alchemy of tense horrorshow melodics, street-level rhymes, and bangin’ breaks.
“It’s for the kind of kids who want to ram-raid tomorrow, become a ghost in the machine, a contagion that cannot be stopped.”
The single was premiered by Charlie Sloth on BBC 1 Xtra last month – listen back to that at the 1-hour 57-minute mark here, and check out the official release’s full tracklist below.

The ‘Vicious’ EP, which is now streaming on Spotify, is a six track affair and sees both ASAP Rocky and ASAP Nast joining forces with Skepta on closer ‘Ghost Ride’.
