I was MCing in the playground, spitting lyrics over mobile phones - Sony Ericsson, Walkmans, W810s, the Teardrop Nokia phones, all of that. Vital equipment! I never even had a DJ set where a DJ's playing vinyl, and I'm spitting. Stormzy equipmentericssonlyric share on social
Every single thing that I was told that I couldn't do without a label - get in the charts, get on to the Radio 1 playlist - I've done. Stormzy charthavelabel Change image and share on social
I know a lot of grime artists started off on pirate radio, but I missed that era; I was way too young. Stormzy artisteragrime Change image and share on social
I like flipping Coldplay. And I like Jessie Ware. But I'm sure how we grew up was totally different. Stormzy coldplayflipgrow Change image and share on social
