Who are Boy Better Know?

Boy Better Know, often abbreviated as BBK, is a British grime collective and record label. The collective was founded in North London in 2005 as an independent record label by brothers Jamie and Joseph Adenuga, better known as Jme and Skepta.

Boy Better Know made history as the first British grime act to headline Wireless, a defining moment for both the group and the festival.

Their legacies have been intertwined ever since. Now, in a full-circle moment, BBK returns home to Wireless marking two major milestones—20 years of Wireless and 20 years of BBK’s groundbreaking career - set to be an unmissable celebration of the UK grime scene.

How are Drake and Boy Better Know connected?

Drizzy and BBK have a long history dating back over a decade. In March 2015, Skepta sampled a Vine of Drake saying trusss me daddi at the beginning of his new single "Shutdown."

Skepta has appeared at OVO fest with Drake and the rapper has also returned the favour too by coming out on stage numerous times.

Drake also has a BBK tattoo.
