Hes big across the pond.
Kanye West digs him.
Hes racking up awards.
At the U.K.s MOBO Awards, Stormzy has won Best Grime Artist for the past two years.
The list has previously predicted the rises of Sam Smith, Skrillex, Frank Ocean, and even Adele.
His music isnt pure grime.
Stormzys Shut Up cracked the top 10 on Britains singles chart, but he didnt stop there.
Kevin Hart rap battled him.
Hes already an important voice in the industry.
And he defended grime earlier this year when the BRIT Awards failed to sufficiently recognize the genre.
I thought it was such a shame, he told the BBC.
Its just a matter of breaking the doors down and carrying on.
He had a massive run at this years SXSW.
After a handful of packed shows at Austins SXSW Festival, Stormzy made sure soon-to-be fans would remember him.
Many of you here dont now me, he saidduring one set at the Fader Fort.
so Im going to keep saying my name till you do!
