23-year-old rapper Lskins first came to our attention back in April, when he released the video for "Must Be Drugs" from the Loudpack EP. That video, directed by Hector Dockrill and Rick Stanton, saw the rhymer in very familiar north London settings: FIFA on the telly, looming grey tower-blocks, long Arsenal jackets, copping blue slims from the local Happy Shopper.
Lskins represents an area and a culture that hasn't been seen or heard since the likes of Mudfam (Skinnyman, Taskforce) and Piff Gang, so there's a lot riding on his movements. His second visual release is for "Never Lackin"—a track from the Brainstorming mixtape, where we see a return to the straight-forward rhymes and eerie, lo-fi production that seems to fit his flow like a glove.
Directed by Bruno Downey, the video continues with a similar aesthetic to "Must Be Drugs" as with Lskins spits flames in a dimly-lit, multi-storey car park. "I love rapping, rolling weed up/ You man are slacking, got your feet up." Watch it exclusively above.
