I understand it why people want me to play those roles [Gangsters], though: I’m tall, 6-foot, bassy voice—I get it. But I just need to push myself out of that, otherwise I will end up just doing those kind of roles.

I think Skepta is broader and more muscular while Wretch and Carti are lanky which might distort appearances as well....186cm for all three could be possible

Rob, out of Wretch, Skepta and Playboi Carti who do you rate tallest?

Editor RobWretch has a frame which could suggest a taller listing
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 30/Jun/22
Editor Rob: There are some shots in which he pulled off 6ft 1-1.5
In that case, Wretch is 6ft2...no photos of them together, but overall he looks taller next to guys Skepta has been pictured with

Editor RobMaybe a low angle and Carti being a few inches closer has shrunk Skepta a few inches...it's a big difference on first seeing the photo!

I still wonder why this guy claims only 6ft, or is he just approximating his height? He's easily 6'1-2 though

I think he's 6'1½. Looks way too tall to be just 6'1 flat. He should weigh 220+ pounds too

Rob, I actually think this listing is fair, but do you think 186-187 cm is also arguable for Skepta at times?

Hi rob . This is a very old photo of skepta and a rapper called g fresh a freind of tinie tempah. I’d bill him at 6ft and skepta is easily 1.5inches taller than him . Look at the caption g fresh made saying he’s tall skepta is just taller Click Here

I’m still going with 186cm for skepta. Here is a photo with legitimate 6ft2 armz korleone Click Here skepta definitely has footwear advantage yes but is still edging out armz and I don’t think a flat 6ft1 could do that .

I’m glad skepta got that upgrade because I always knew he was more than a flat 6ft. I met his friend Dan from the song “German whip” he was easily half an inch taller than me and skepta is a little taller than him even . And I’ve never at any time of day measured below 6ft. But to be fair skepta maybe height is really weird I personally always felt like he was 186cm but at the same time 6ft1 giggs always easily edges him out it doesn’t make sense because I can see giggs Isint more than the 6ft 1 he claims either lol.

Editor Roba bit closer and thicker shoes he's looking like a big 6ft 2 range guy there.
There was another shot Here between Asap and that other guy who has claimed 6ft 4.
So he can indeed look near 6ft 2 at times!

This guy must really move around short/average sized guys a lot. Looking at his music videos, one could mistake him for a 6'3-4 guy, absolutely towers over everyone. I would give him 6'0.75, had 6'0 Chris Brown by nearly an inch

Rob, can you please take a look at Headie One and also try giving him a page. Well there's no way that guy's only 5'10 as listed on google since he looks about identical as Skepta, and also is barely 5 inches shorter than 6'5 listed Stormzy. Headie gets at least 6'0 from me, I don't get why most of these uk artists are underlisted on google.

I measured 184 barefoot in the afternoon 2 years ago when I was still 17, just saw this guy at Sydney airport, was wearing normal shoes but looked 188-190 range easily at least...Very tall guy and probably over 200 pounds too. Didn’t get too close to him so couldn’t see how much taller he really was but I’m sure 188 is fair.

yh Kano is tough to guess I would imagine he might be a 5'11 guy he can look a bit taller tho its hard to say, Not sure on Yungen sometimes it can be deceptive, I thought Skepta was taller maybe due to his hench build.

Editor Rob thereel, I don't really follow any genre or specific band.
if something sounds good to me, I enjoy it, regardless of who is singing or playing it.
for any rapper/grimer when I add them I've usually also at same time watched some of their videos...

Skepta is a guy of great proportions in stature and body type. Definitely 6' 1" for me.
@189Night, I follow Yung Lean as a person and artist, and judging by moments with his fellow music artists such as Bladee (about 5'11" - 6' 0" range), Yung Sherman (6' 2") and Yung Gud (about 6' 2" - 6' 3" range) and that picture, I'd say Yung Lean is 5' 8". Not tall, not short.

Would have guessed him 6'1 range or at worst a weak 6'1, He looked more than 1.5 Inches taller than Chipmunk and he is probably at least an Inch taller than Chris Brown, I am still not 100% sure this guy would only measure 6'0.5 but then sometimes pics can be deceiving and tough to compare etc.

NX, a solid 6ft (185cm out of bed, 183cm before bed) is the start of tall for a male. But I wouldn't refer to it as being 'really tall' or 'towering' except for a female. It gets perceived as average understandably because men who are really about 5ft11 and often times less claim to be 6ft.

At most he would be 6'1. I think this is a pretty accurate listing to be honest. A lot of people here think 6 foot flat is average and not that tall, I know a guy who is a legit 6ft (183cm) and he towers everyone, in public he looks really tall in a crowd

sorry rob this height is completely wrong! tbh allthough i have realised it seems like skepta has lost nearly a inch in height recently but im a geniune 183 i never measure under this height sometimes my morning height touches just over 185. i personally know people who know skepta and when i ask how tall he is they always say "abit taller than you" to me he seems more 6'1.25-6'1.5 he is not under this. plus he is taller than 6ft willey. and in the music video champion behind the scenes him and chris brown shook hands he had a clear inch on chris brown.

Editor Rob he didn't look much bigger than brown, but he could be over 6ft and giving a general description. I know he can look more than an inch over chipmunk who also claimed 6ft, although he did say 5ft 11 years ago.
