I will be reviewing an album which was released this year in February it is Stormzy debut album called Gang Signs & Prayer.
Stormzy is a British Grime artist from Croydon who has had a phenomenal year he finally has a debut album which in my opinion it is really good probably so far in one of my top 10 best 2017 albums so far. I first discovered Stormzy back in the day with a track called "know me from"which I was quite surprised at the time I was saying to myself Stormzy will be the next big thing. When the track "Shut up " was released everyone was so hyped at the time I remember in 2015 everyone was talking about how Stormzy was going to be the new King of Grime in the future. As it stands Stormzy is looking to be the future King of Grime. Moving on to the Album I Enjoyed Stormzy Album so much I am Proud of how far Stormzy has reached. The first single from the album to be in the top 40 charts was "Big For Your Boots". The production of the track is really good Sir Spyro and Fraser T smith done some really great production on this track. However Stormzy bars in this track is one of the best bars ive heard from a Grime Artist. Stormzy is just Phenomenal on this track. However its not just this track in which he is phenomenal he is phenomenal in other tracks as well. This album is nominated for this year Mercury music prize. Which in my opinion it was well deserved because Stormzy worked really hard on his debut album.Gang Signs & Prayer will be an album that will be talked about suggesting that this album in the future will be looked back and will be talked about by many fans.
My favourite tracks on this album was Big for your boots, Mr Skeng, Cigarettes & Cush, Blinded By Your Grace Part 2 and Return of the Rucksack. In the track Mr Skeng Stormzy is at it again with some really good bars the production goes really well with the track. Moving on to another one of my favourite tracks was Cigarettes & Cush with collaboration featuring Khelani. This track is an amazing track great collaboration this was one of the tracks that I could not stop listening to its such a fantastic track. Another one of my favourites was Blinded By Your Grace Part 2. I loved how Stormzy wrote a Gospel song to include in the album it sounds really good I am pleased that Stormzy decided to put it in the album. My last favourite track is Return of the Rucksack. In one of Stormzy lyrics "Roll deep on these put these mcs on these freeze". It was interesting on how Stormzy used one of Dizzee Rascal lyrics from Dizzee track "Seems 2 be" which however the track came from Dizzee debut album "Boy in da corner". However the track did go well it has been on repeat for me I cant stop listening to this track. My least favourite track was Velvet/Jenny Francis.
Overall this is a fantastic Album I would defintley listen to it again. Defintley looking forward to Stormzy future projects. Overall its an 9/10
