Stormzy's made British political history once more - he's been quoted by an MP in the House Of Commons.
Recently elected Labour MP Sarah Jones - a representative for Stormzy's own Croydon hometown - quoted the MC's "Big For Your Boots" banger during a speech this week. The track appears on Stormzy's UK number one debut Gang Signs & Prayer.

It's not necessarily as groundbreaking as the momentous Grime 4 Corbyn movement he was linked with, but considering every word in the room is recorded via Hansard, his lyrics now sit proudly in the annals of political history.
In other Stormzy news, he's recently been named person of the year by University Of Oxford's Afro-Caribbean society.
