U.K. grime rapper Stormzy has shared a brand new song. It’s called “Crown,” and it’s out now (via #Merky/Atlantic). Check it out below. “Crown” is produced by MJ Cole and Jimmy Napes, who co-wrote the track with Stormzy. The song includes vocals by LJ Singers, a seven-piece choir based in the U.K.
Stormzy recently released his single “Vossi Bop,” his first track of 2019. The rapper’s debut solo album Gang Signs & Prayer came out in 2017. In 2018, Stormzy received two Brit Awards: British Male Solo Artist, and MasterCard British Album of the Year (for Gang Signs & Prayer). He is scheduled to headline this year’s Glastonbury Festival.
