Skepta taps British actor Idris Elba for a remix of his recent track "Shutdown."

Although active in the UK's grime scene for years at this point, Skepta's started getting some unprecedentedly huge co-signs this year. Drake and Kanye West are among those new fans, as is actor Idris Elba, who's going to get a chance to become not only a fan, but a collaborator, very soon.

After the actor showed his fondness for Skepta's recent track "Shutdown" via Twitter (see that below), the rapper's announced that Elba "and another big rapper" will be featured on an upcoming remix of the song. Previously, we've heard Elba join Mr. Hudson on the track "Step Into The Shadows."
