Bleep

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call Gang Signs and Prayer the most hotly anticipated British debut album of 2017. Stormzy’s ascent to mainstream stardom has come without him losing touch with the grime scene or eschewing critical favour for M.O.R. fodder. Coming in at just short of an hour, the album details every facet of this most unique and likable man’s character - life on road (‘Bad Boys’, ‘100 Bag’), the struggle of growing up without a father (‘Lay Me Bare’) and his Christian faith (the pair of ‘Blinded By Your Grace’ cuts) all make an appearance along with smash hits ‘Big For Your Boots’ and ‘Shut Up’. Production credits from Sir Spyro, Swifta, XTC and more.
