New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Hotly off the back of releasing his searing new single "
Toxic Trait" a mere 4 days ago, today British megastar
Stormzy returns to the rap sphere once again with "Longevity Flow"; a 3-minute schooling in boastful freestyling, confidently detailing his remarkable ever-growing 10-year ascent within the music scene.
"Longevity flow is making n*****s pray for my demise" he raps "I'm the only one who had his eyes on the prize, they make a bit of money now they're thinking that we're size."
Shot by Stormzy's long-time Creative Director, Zebie, the majestic freestyle also arrives alongside a candid performance-led visual. Filmed across a multitude of London locations, the accompanying offering also includes impromptu archive footage taken of
Stormzy over the course of the last year and features cameos from the likes of Tom Cruise, Dave, Lewis Hamilton and more.
"There's a difference between doing music at 22 and when you're about to turn 30,"
Stormzy recently said in an interview for the cover of Dazed Magazine's summer issue. "It's the kind of peace and stability and stillness you can only get from maturity. You lose all the nervous shivers and the anxiety; you shake it off because now you're a grown man coming into your skin."
With 3, #1 albums now under his belt, Britain's national treasure is ever-present with the crown still firmly placed upon his head. Listen/watch Stormzy's new freestyle "Longevity Flow" below.
