Regardless of your thoughts on the quickly saturating “Americanized” Grime sound, it’s hard not to be excited by rise of Stormzy. “Big for Your Boots”, the first single off his upcoming debut album, Gang Signs & Prayer, has been making waves, pulling in almost 3 million Youtube views in its first week.
And for good reason: it’s pure verbal aggression, with the added bonus of production credits from Kano (and Adele) producer, Fraser T Smith. Plus I just really like the way he says “boots”.
Gang Signs & Prayer is out February 24th on #Merky Records.
