London hailing ska/dub band The Skints hit the studio to take on Katy B‘s 2010 debut single, “[Katy] On A Mission,” bringing their own mellow, reggae vibes to the Peckham born BRIT School-graduate’s UK hit from her On A Mission LP with a fresh live performance, premiered right here.

We rate the Katy B tune, so hopefully the people appreciate the vibes on the this one.”
