    A solid album but also not a surprising one. To boot, the main thing that grounds this album with a sense of time and place is the political side of it.

    On Heavy Is the Head, that throne is never taken lightly. Instead, Stormzy delivers one of the most introspective and prayerful works of the year, solidifying his elite status in hip-hop.
