It was the second time in his career that Stormzy won this coveted BRITs category.

Stormzy’s released his second studio album, Heavy Is the Head, in December 2019 and, again, hit the top spot on the official UK Album Chart, while garnering more than one billion streams worldwide to date.

Heavy Is the Head was also nominated for the 2020 Mercury Prize.
Stormzy was featured on the cover of TIME Magazine in 2019, topping the list of Next Generation Leaders. The Croydon-born MC became the first British rapper to headline Glastonbury Festival in 2019. He’s scheduled to headline two other iconic UK festivals, Reading & Leeds, this year.

In August 2018 he announced “The Stormzy Scholarship,” an annual studentship to fund two black British students to go to the University of Cambridge.
Additionally, in June last year, he announced that he will pledge £10 million ($13.8 million) over ten years, to organizations, charities, and movements that are committed to fighting racial inequality, justice reform, and Black empowerment within the UK.
