Anyone who sees Stormzy on stage isn't likely to forget it anytime soon: not so much because the London rapper stands at almost two meters tall, but more because he drives his audience wild with hard beats and raps, and switches things up just as easily with some gospel and R&B. He is a child of grime, the British movement based on hip-hop, dancehall and garage. Generating multiple hits and platinum records, Stormzy quickly became one of England's biggest stars. He headlined at Glastonbury, where he wore a stab vest painted by street artist Banksy in the colours of the Union Jack, as a statement against violence within youth culture. His latest, very personal album This is What I Mean has a few more ballads than before, but given Stormzy's reputation, whatever the material, you’re guaranteed an unforgettable show in Rotterdam.
