Skepta played a short live set last night in a car park in Shoreditch, fulfilling a five year promise that he made on Twitter. Check out the video and photos down below:

Around 4pm yesterday, Skepta tweeted that he would be performing from 8pm in Shoreditch's Hollywell Lane Car Park in London, as a flash party for the release of his new single Shutdown.

By 7pm, there was already a massive queue of fans, lining the streets. He played a half an hour show, performing 'That's Not Me' and the track which was the catalyst for the event, 'Shutdown' amongst others.
