High street music retailer HMV have caused a great deal of confusion by selling an obscure new Skepta record depicting someone who is definitely NOT the Mercury Prize winning artist on the back cover of the project titled ‘Boy Did Good’. Bizarrely, the art for the album’s track listing shows model Chris Reid sporting a black tracksuit.

The mystery project landed in stores earlier this month on the 14th of July with no mention from Skepta himself regarding new releases or a follow up to his critically acclaimed 2016 album ‘Konnichiwa’. The bootleg ‘Boy Done Good’ appears to be a ‘best of…’ style release with a selection of well loved but previously unreleased tracks from the Tottenham MC like his 2008 ‘Gone Again’ freestyle for Tim Westwood as well as his self produced classic ‘Autopsy’.

Physical copies of the release are available to purchase on HMV’s website from £9.99 in vinyl and CD format distributed by Havasu Records and have also reportedly been spotted in HMV stores. It’s also being touted online via a number of retailers like Amazon and Banquet Records.
