“Victory Lap” isn’t just a song — it’s a moment. Debuted live on Twitch during a pop-up rave at Brooklyn Paramount, this unexpected collab between Fred again.., grime heavyweight Skepta, and Twitch creator PlaqueBoyMax captured everything thrilling about music in 2025: spontaneity, genre fusion, and community buzz.
Fred again.. delivers dark, glitchy production layered with funk carioca bounce, while Skepta tears through it with sharp, commanding bars. PlaqueBoyMax, known for his streams, brings real-time energy from the studio to the stream, helping shape the track’s live debut vibe.
More than a banger, “Victory Lap” feels like a statement — a victory for unfiltered creativity and unexpected partnerships. Whether it leads to a new Fred again.. album or more Skepta crossover magic, this track already owns a place in 2025’s summer soundtrack.
Skepta has announced the return of the Big Smoke Festival as part of this year’s South Facing, the highly anticipated multi-genre music event taking place at Crystal Palace Bowl on Saturday 9th & Sunday 10th August 2025.
