STORMZY’S £10 MIL PLEDGE TO HELP RACISIM
UK rap star Stormzy has pledged to donate £1 million every year for 10 years to organisations, charities and movements that aid racial inequality. Speaking out about black empowerment, he said: “”We have to fight against the odds of a racist system stacked against us and designed for us to fail from before we are even born.”
This is not the first time the grime star has pledged to help injustice and inequality in the world, in 2018 he announced the Stormzy Scholarship which would pay the tuition and maintenance fees for an undergrad at Cambridge University for two students.
Also in 2018 he partnered with Penguin in a publishing deal, to help young authors become well know. The partnership, known as #MerkyBooks, began with the print of his autobiography Rise Up, and has seen the release of two books a year since.
“Black people have been playing on an uneven field for far too long and this pledge is a continuation in the fight to finally try and even it” Stormzy commented, and he sure is dedicating his success to help the current racial imbalances. Stormzy is amongst many musical stars pledging to help the cause, Michael Jordan has donated $100 million to groups fighting racial and social injustice, along with Drake who has donated an undisclosed amount to the bail fund of those arrested for protesting in the US.
Featuring Not3s, B Young, JME and more artists, the grime star is back with a new album. Chip’s new sound includes previously released songs like “My Girl’ and “Right Now”, alongside 10 brand new tracks. He took a break from the grime scene to take on more of a pop sound in previous years, but has recently returned to where he belongs and this new album shows he’s not going anywhere- the album cover is so cute how can you not have a listen.
Thought two full-length album’s in 2018 was enough for Mr West? Think again. The release date for his third, yes third (!), album this year may be imminent due to him not to subtly hinting at it. Here is everything we know so far…
The album’s name is a combination of “Ye” and “Gandhi”, as Kanye merging “Ye” and “Jesus” for “Yeezus” wasn’t bad enough. News of the project began earlier in September when West dropped some tweets suggesting another album, and we all know he loves stirring things up on twitter. The “Touch The Sky” singer took these hints further on Instagram, posting a picture of a billboard with the caption “YANDHI 9 29 18” which we think is the release date, meaning it’s coming any day now. Also he potentially dropped the album artwork on insta- a minidisc with purple tape, copying his 2013 YEEZUS album.
Speculations have also suggested Chance the Rapper will feature on the album as the pair are already working on a new album together called “Good Ass Job”. Does Kanye West ever sleep or is he just constantly working on new albums? Lil Pump is also another suspected feature artists after him and Ye released “I Love It” earlier this month alongside that weird, weird cartoon music video of them .
AJ Tracey has linked up with Californian producer D33J for a brand-new track named “Other Man”. The collab brings together the grime artist’s distinct British style mixed with a LA rap-inspired production for a innovative sound.
This is not the first sound to be produced outside the West London native’s comfort zone. His track “3Am” with Bauer presents his experimental sounds, along with “Butterflies” with Not3s which also apparently was made by the pair sat on a sofa in 20 minutes. If only we were that musically talented…
