Premiere: Skinny Malone goes to prom in his 'We Don't Know Him' video

Hackney’s Skinny Malone has dropped the video for ‘We Don’t Know Him’, a cut that takes aim at the “beg friends” who only get in touch to ask for guestlist.

Throwing a prom-style party with his mates, complete with balloon arch and tinsel backdrop, Skinny showcases the energy of his fierce live sets and mic prowess.

“This is for the festivals and the real rager parties,” Skinny says of the track. “But at the same time, for the park ‘cause it’s relatively PG.”

Dropping on 4AD’s new rap-focused sister label, b4, Skinny Malone is blending an energetic mix of UK rap, drill and grime.
