Jun 13, 2017I cannot say that I am the world's biggest fan of grime, so this album I already knew was not my cup of tea. There are good songs such as Big For Your Boots, but then there are awful tracks i.e. Shut Up.

Nov 29, 2017On paper it sounds all over the place, but it somehow works. There is method to this madness and Gang Signs & Prayer owes much to how serious Stormzy considers the album format in 2017. Grime LPs are few and far between.

The WireAug 8, 2017There’s one serious misfire, a skit where Crazy Titch reassures us that everyone in his prison block agrees you’re never “too gang to listen Stormzy”, but mostly his wariness lends the album a series of unresolved tensions more perfectly poised than any other grime album to date.

May 9, 2017It cannot be understated how bold it is to go against the grain in a genre where adherence to style can equal respect, but Stormzy's ambition exceeds potential judgment from purists. He's more concerned with expressing himself and adapting to survive, so that he can express further for years to come.
