Happy Birthday, Stormzy 🎂 The Croydon artist was the first grime MC to cover i-D back in 2016, what a journey he's had since then! 👏 Revisit his cover story here:

Michael Omari stands on his Chelsea balcony that overlooks the River Thames, the almighty city of London stretched before him. The city that made him, Michael Omari, Abigail's son, a black boy from south London from a single parent, Christian family, two older sisters, one younger brother, one absent dad, a cab driver who Omari would occasionally see driving around the streets of Thornton Heath.

So he returned home, literally and metaphorically, and the rest, as the cliché goes is history. He put out a couple of freestyles that were initially more road rap than grime before committing himself fully to the world of 140BPM. Unconcerned with convention, he rapped about domestic abuse and decided to sing too, even covering Bieber at one point. He quickly found an audience — a large one — hungry for new blood.

Tiffany Cross reacts to Megyn Kelly’s criticism of Naomi OsakaTiffany Cross on Megyn Kelly: 'Kelly is really just trying to claw her way back into social relevance and into the hearts of Fox News viewers by regurgitating their favorite attacks, all while benefitting from the work that we do. We're quite used to it.' CrossConnection My favorite part of Tiffany's comment....'when it comes to us, sister, stop punching above your weight. You keep asking for smoke that you don't want.' TiffanyDCross I am extremely tired of people claiming to be traumatized by what others say. Just shows a lake of character and fortitude.
