Bark (Back It Up) is the debut self produced single from recording artist Skripture. Released on 9th December 2012 on new independent record label No Help No Handouts, the single is an infectious Hip Hop anthem with a double even triple entendre meaning behind the title and chorus. Bark like much of Skripture’s lyrical content is thought provoking and sharp with the music always bumping and captivating. The release includes the original version, a radio edit and the instrumental as well as Grime inspired remix by UK grime producer Levlz.
The single is the debut single from the label; the perfect first representation of their love for talent and quality music will be followed up by releases from independent artists from around the world. Skripture and in particular Bark will announce the arrival of NHNH as a new platform for creative and pioneering recording artists around the globe.
