Skepta, the acclaimed British rapper and producer, has released a new single that pays tribute to the late Amy Winehouse.

The track, titled “Can’t Play Myself (A Tribute to Amy),” features a sample of Winehouse’s 2006 hit “Tears Dry on Their Own,” which was taken from her classic album “Back to Black.”

Skepta announced the single’s release on his Instagram account, thanking his followers for their support and calling it a “tribute to Amy Winehouse.”

He also revealed that the Amy Winehouse Foundation cleared the sample. This charitable organization works to prevent drug and alcohol abuse among young people and supports those who struggle with addiction.

The single is part of Skepta’s house music label Más Tiempo, which he launched earlier this year with fellow rapper Jammer. Skepta has been experimenting with house music lately, blending it with his signature grime style and incorporating samples from various artists, such as Little Mix’s Leigh-Anne and Etta Bond.

“Can’t Play Myself (A Tribute to Amy)” is a haunting and atmospheric track that showcases Skepta’s versatility and respect for Winehouse’s legacy.

The song samples Winehouse’s soulful vocals from “Tears Dry on Their Own,” based on Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell’s “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.” Skepta raps over the catchy beat, reflecting on his own struggles and regrets.

The song is a fitting homage to Winehouse, who died of alcohol poisoning at 27 in 2011. Winehouse was one of her generation’s most influential and talented singers, winning multiple Grammys, a Brit Award, and a Mobo Award for her music. She also inspired many other artists, like Adele, Duffy, and Lily Allen.

Skepta has previously admired Winehouse, saying he enjoyed her music and personality. He also collaborated with her goddaughter Dionne Bromfield on “Spinnin’ for 2012”, the official song for the London Olympics.
