Watch Stormzy take over the 2017 Mercury Awards.
Stormzy recreated the artwork for his debut album ‘Gang Signs & Prayer’ for an amazing performance at the 2017 Mercury Music Prize.
The Grime star, who was nominated for the prestigious award, was dressed in all black and surrounded by a group of balaclava-clad friends.
Stormzy kicked off the performance with an incredible performance of his album song ‘First Things First’, before the stage transformed into a church with glass windows, for a gospel rendition of ‘Blinded By Your Grace Part I.’
