BY Calum SlingerlandPublished Apr 29, 2019

Nearly three years removed from releasing his Mercury Prize-winning album Konnichiwa, Skepta has announced plans for a follow-up.

The grime star will release a new album titled Ignorance Is Bliss on May 31 through his own Boy Better Know label. Thirteen tracks in length, the album is available for pre-order here.

Last year, Skepta had been hinting at the release of a new full-length titled SkLevel, though revealed his intentions to change the album's name on Instagram in April. 

"I've been working hard and I'm more focused than ever," he wrote. "Changed my album title cos #SkLEVEL is a 2018 pattern. New year, new name."

Last year, Skepta appeared on A$AP Rocky's "Praise the Lord (Da Shine)" and shared the new singles "Pure Water" and the Wizkid-assisted "Bad Energy (Stay Far Away)." Skepta last released his Vicious EP in 2017.
