    Lessons is a song that hopefully will be a wake up call for all the bruddas out there that have a good woman, a queen and think twice about straying. It's hard to find a good woman and it's also hard to find a good man , and if you are lucky enough to find that someone don't take that quest and blessing for granted.

He was on road as a young man that changed his choices and decisions and focused on what he loves.. He real genuine and sincere that's why he has so much success.. Don't ever change Stormzy no matter how many millions you make.. You're major inspiration and wish all these young men caught up in road life could realise their potential.. They are special and they have great talent too.. But using their energy on the wrong thing.. Look at his journey we can all learn from him and I am a fully grown adult older than Stormzy but admire he wholeheartedly

      He’s more relatable to people outside of London than people think. I always liked his stuff when it first came out 5 years ago, when I was leaving school, and now I’m a teacher 5 years later the kids are still loving his music. I grew up in the Home Counties and am a teacher in inner city Manchester and I know people from Scotland and Northern Ireland that like him. If he learned more about policies and about the nature of politics I’d vote for him and I think many other people would

Take it up to the next level kiddo, thanks for existing, and yes yes yes please keep pushing those exclusively black (or any marginalised community) initiatives, white supremacy is everywhere and must be countered
    Skepta is still the king of the whole sound, but he just can't be or do what you do
    Kano still makes the best tracks every year, but can't wear the crowN
    Bugzy IS king of the North
    It's Wiley scene and sound, he is the originator, and always will be, but he's not interested in pushing the art and culture
    Dizzee gave grime the quality and notoriety, and we will always be grateful
    SLOWTHAI has the newest vibe right now, one to watch, hopefully
    GRIME IS THE FRESHEST SOUND ON THE PLANET
