Doin' It Again is the third studio album by English Grime artist Skepta. It features artists N-Dubz, Preeya Kalidas, Charlee Drew, Boy Better Know and Chip and was released on 31 January 2011 on Boy Better Know and All Around the World. The album's release was preceded by four singles which attained varied chart success on the UK Top 40 Singles chart throughout 2010.

The album consists of 15 tracks, seven which feature artists (with one artist being uncredited) and "Hello, Good Morning" recorded by both Skepta and Diddy-Dirty Money. For the song "Big", Skepta collaborated with fellow English rapper Chipmunk. Skepta told The Sun: "Chipmunk and me were out in the West End clubbing together. I'd made 'Big' for my album with the producer S-X. I played it to Chipmunk on the way home that night when we driving back from the club together and he loved it so much that he came to my studio the next day to put in his verse down on it.". The album is presumably named after a song on Skepta's first album "Greatest Hits", which is called "Doin' It Again". Currently the album has released four singles; three which have charted in the Top 40 and one just in the Top 100 of the UK Singles Chart.

Reviews for Doin' It Again have been mixed. The Observer said "This third album is clearly a bid for international recognition, but the transition feels uncomfortable at times".The Guardian was more positive saying that Skepta had "a distinctive, authentic voice and a sharp sense of humour". However, NME were far more negative saying "this is the sound of grime destroying itself"
