VIDEO: Belfast crowd going CRAZY as Stormzy proves he’s the next big thing

Carl Kinsella

“This is fire in Belfast.”

If you haven’t heard of Stormzy yet, now is the time to acquaint yourself. The 22-year-old grime rapper from London was in Belfast on Thursday, and Dublin last night to play Trinity Ball.

So far, Stormzy has primarily released music through his own YouTube channel – but that has done nothing to stifle the hype around him, with his song ‘Shut Up’ nearing 30 million views on online.

Footage of him performing Shut Up to a very receptive Belfast crowd on Thursday has emerged, and we have to say it looks like this man has the performance value to match his tunes. Check this out:
