Miss Dynamite & Akala, Megaman & Swiss, Giggs, Gunna Dee & Joe Grind. These are just a few of the siblings who have left their mark on the UK rap scene. However, arguably the most iconic pair is JME and Skepta. From top 10 singles and albums to the formation of the iconic grime group BBK, their contributions to UK rap are endless. One piece of history about the Adenuga brothers that seems to have been forgotten is Skepta’s pendant of JME. Let’s talk about it.
At a time when the Jesus piece had gained popularity in the UK, Skepta used it as inspiration to create a unique piece for his brother. The pendant depicts JME’s face made from gold with a durag set with black diamonds. The piece was a display of brotherhood and a reminder of how far they had come. From making music in their room on Fruity Loops to being on the big stage. Although it is not the most well-made piece, it tells a beautiful story. And ultimately, isn’t that what it’s all about?
