Is Stormzy getting ready to release his debut album next month?
Mysterious new billboards have popped up in London teasing Stormzy's next release - are we finally getting that debut album?
The ads have appeared in a few places across the capital, including in Hammersmith and Shoreditch. Each one features Stormzy's #MERKY logo, a lyric fragment, and the words "#GSAP 24.02" - many reckon that the last bit of info is a title (or a title's acronym) and a release date.
"Ain't dropped nothing for a minute. I'm fine," reads one of the most-papped boards. See the entire collection so far over on The FADER.
Stormzy's debut LP has been in the works for a while (we can't wait). Last year he told i-D that we "will hear Stormzy the son, the boyfriend, the brother, the bredrin, all of it. I will give you a moment in time in music."
In an interview with Clash the MC, real name Michael Omari, says the album will sound "like Michael personified."
"And I’m using Michael not Stormzy, because I feel like I need to get back to who I am," Omari says. "There’s been glimpses of people seeing who I am but I’m talking on a musical level. You’re getting the freestyles, you’re getting the records here and there, but you’re not getting who Stormzy is. I want you to understand who I am, what I love, what I hate, what I treasure, what has stunted my growth, helped my growth. I want everything to be in this record."
Wretch 32 collaborators Messers Mo and Mikey Samuels are apparently producing the album.
