The music star, who also goes by the name Big Smoke, took to TikTok to share the clip of the music video which sees Skepta in various behind the scenes shots alongside Flo Milli.
Flo Milli shot to fame after her 2018 single Beef FloMix and its 2019 follow up In the Party both went viral on TikTok- she has amassed nearly 1 billion streams to date.
Their new track features a sample from the 1999 song What’s It Gonna Be by Busta Rhymes featuring Janet Jackson.
Fans couldn’t be more excited for the single to drop as the rappers’ music releases have been slow over recent years.
One user commented: “ What are you waiting for to drop this masterpiece.”
“This track is fire ! Can’t wait for the drop !” commented another.
“ We Are Back Baby !!“ exclaimed a third.
“ Obsessed ( heart emoji),” added a fourth.
Another fan said: “ Drop it already !”
Skepta had been quiet since 2019 with eager fans left waiting for Big Smoke’s return however early this year the music star dropped his sixth album Knife and Fork.
Now, it seems Skepta has made a full return to the music scene as he sets out to release more singles and collaborate with even more artists.
The release of the music video preview comes on the heels of a leaked track between the grime artist and global superstar Kanye West.
The Chicago-born rapper and producer revealed a snippet of a new track on his highly anticipated collab album Vultures 2 at a private listening party.
Footage captured from the event showed Kanye on a DJ deck with him and Skepta’s vocals blaring through the speakers.
The UK grime legend can be heard rapping the lyrics: “How we living I’m never quitting, Rollie ain’t ticking 818 sippin.”
The song is reportedly called Cash Cow and remains unreleased but the US and UK collab could lead to more cross-Atlantic partnerships in the future for the grime star.
