Skepta has revealed in a new interview with i-D that he's finally finishing off his Konnichiwa album this week. Speaking before Uniqlo's Oxford Circus store re-launch on Thursday evening, Skepta said that he'd spent "three years of (his) life" working on the album. Talking on the Japanese connection to the LP, he said he's doing his first ever shows over in Japan "because of the album", which he's taking along with him.

A potential 'Konnichiwa' tracklist was posted to Instagram on Wednesday.

The grime star also spoke on bringing out his own fashion brand:

"I'm gonna bring out my own brand soon. It's gonna be for the streets, for your everyday person who doesn't want to wear jeans all the time and wants to be comfortable."

It looks like Skepta's set for a busy 2016.
