Welsh ragga metal band Skindred launched their ninth studio album, “You Got This“, today, April 17th. With it came the debut of a music video for the latest single to be shared from that record, “My People“. Matt Higgs produced and filmed that clip, with frontman Benji Webbe saying of it:
“Calling My People. We have made our own way through this Ragga Metal Jungle doing what we do, forging and sculpting our own unique heavy metal sound system and this song in particular is Skindred mixing it up while breaking down barriers in as uncompromising way as possible. Here’s ‘My People‘.”
