10 iconic Skream moments
Been there, done that, got the dubplates
Forming Magnetic Man with Artwork and Benga
Enter the dubstep supergroup. These three had been pals for years before forming in the late 00s, having met at Big Apple Records in Croydon. An album deal with Columbia Records was signed in 2010, with the self-titled LP featuring Katy B, P Money, Ms. Dynamite and John Legend arriving in October that year. Of course, with this three behind it, there was always going to be a hilarious story to go with it. As Artwork told RA, the amount of money they got from the deal meant they could hire a mansion in Cornwall to record it. Being mischievous lads from the city, Skream and Benga went "fucking stir crazy" and the only tune they came up with while there went "Ketamine, check. Cocaine, check. Ecstasy, check. Let’s party.” None of that renegade behaviour mattered, though, as the album hit number five in the UK Albums chart. Hello, mainstream.
