Can Skepta Change The Cycle?

As soon as I heard Skepta's track featuring D Double E & A$AP Nast, 'Ladies Hit Squad', I was feeling it, but the video had me feeling it even more.





This is the first mainstream grime artist to showcase a video where dark skinned women are being embraced and highlighted in such a big way.

Some may not understand, but this is a big step in today's society as dark skin women are rarely used in music videos, especially within the UK hip hop scene.

The mixture of cultures in the video was also very reflective of today's society, which is what needs to be done in all musical genres.



Now that Skepta has shown that an artist who has fans of all cultures can show all shades of black women will other grime artist follow suit?
