Because the British-bred rapper has announced his third studio album ‘This Is What I Mean.’
Full story below…
Set for release on November 25 via 0207 Def Jam, the hotly anticipated set serves as the MC’s first since 2019’s ‘Heavy Is The Head.’
The lions share of the project was pieced together at a special music camp housed on the remote Osea Island. There, an eclectic array of creatives (who will be revealed at a later date) joined forces with Stormzy to craft a body of work like no other.
Speaking on the process, the star (who signaled his return with the viral video ‘Mel Made Me Do It’) said:
“When you hear about music camps they always sound intense and sombre. People saying: ‘We need to make an album.’ ‘We need to make some hit records.’ But this felt beautifully free. We’re all musicians but we weren’t always doing music. Some days we played football or walked around taking pictures. And the bi-product to that was very beautiful music. Because when you marry that ethos with world class musicians and the best producers, writers and artists in the world, and we’re in one space, that’s a recipe for something that no one can really imagine. You can’t even calculate what that’s going to come up with. And it came up with a big chunk of this album.”
