Pharrell has spoken about wanting to work with Skepta again in a new interview, while also offering his own impression of the Tottenham MC.
The two artists worked together for a song on Skepta’s Mercury Music Prize-winning album Konnichiwa, which was released last year.
Speaking in a new interview with BBC Radio 1’s Clara Amfo, Pharrell reflected on what it was like to work with Skepta on the hit ‘Numbers’.
“He’s an interesting character,” Pharrell said. “He’s different, and that’s what I like in an artist, when they’re their own thing. He’s a regular guy, but I think it means more to him than most people. It’s in his verses, everything’s just way more concise. His work ethic is like, ‘You get me? You get me?’ He’s dead-ass, he’s serious about what he’s doing.”
Pharrell then confirmed his desire to do “one more” song with Skepta in the near future, saying: “Oh yeah, for sure.”
Speaking of the current status of N.E.R.D‘s comeback, Pharrell said “it’s feeling really good, really special,” but wouldn’t be drawn on any specific future album or live plans.
Meanwhile, Skepta is currently gearing up to perform at this month’s BRIT Awards, for which he has been nominated for three awards.
