It's been a minute since we heard anything from Stormzy. In fact, it feels like he's been riding the wave of Gang Signs & Prayers since its release in early 2017. The rapper's been busy venturing off into other lanes since then such as his partnership Penguin/Random House, launching a scholarship fund for Black students to attend Cambridge University and more recently, teaming up with adidas for a new collection. In wake of his new partnership with the sportswear brand, the rapper unleashes his first song in nearly two years titled, "Line."
Over a lurky guitar loop, Stormzy delivers a short new track titled, "Line" exclusively with adidas Originals. The track and video runs for one minute with Stormzy mobbing out with his people with everyone dressed up in adidas head-to-toe. Hopefully, this means we'll be getting a new album from the "Wicked Skengman" rapper in 2019.
Quotable Lyrics
The boy's got fabolous rhymes
And he got adidas slides
100 bags for the show
Had to make my manager decline
