Stormzy is bringing grime to the masses. And when I say “the masses” I mean like, the actual masses. The true grit of the UK is people who sit on their arses watching hangover Sunday television and eating, so following the release of his (very good) debut album Gang Signs and Prayer, the London MC has launched a charm offensive for their hearts.
Starting with his surprise Brits performance last Wednesday, just prior to the release of the album, Stormzy continued his streak with an appearance on Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch, TV’s heartland for mums who want to learn how to do a potato gratin (ie: the people you apparently need to impress for actual success in the UK music industry).

Throughout his stint on Cooking’s Biggest Morning™, Big Mike chatted about the Brits with Tim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer (watch below and cry because he is a national treasure), cooked up a STORMZY (hahaha lol), and sampled a cocktail called a “Dark and Stormzy.” All in a morning’s work for your mum’s new favourite rapper – my own mum posted a Facebook status about him during the Brits, and yours won’t be long behind. This man might just conquer the world, one elated mum status at a time.
