backing band is fucking phenomenal
they're amazing and the singer harmonies just beautiful
I'm pretty sure thats The Compozers.
TheKawsik it's not lol
deffo not the compozers love lol what you see there is way more better than the compozers
Jonathan Ambrose aa
That's probably the best verse I've ever heard from Stormz. Cold.
I Felt the same g usually not that impressed with his new shit but he went in on dis 1
What part is his? i havnt heard the original song
The rap is his. Listen to the original though, its amazing :)
Raz mataz Yeah fam it's up there, he's got the bars tho ya hear me, trust me. Man like Stormzy ya know.
I love him. reminds me of dizzy/dirty rascal
For real tho, this drummer deserves mad cred... kinda unreal.
How about you all stop commenting on stormzys vocals and deep what this man is actually saying, lets stop boxing black rappers in the UK to just "rapping" sometimes its good for artists to elevate and not be seen as just a "grime artist" thats not "selling out" its growth.
iriver plate real talk
Trust me! I keep telling these young motherfuckers. They do it with everyone. After a certain level of recognition, you can't chat the same shit, that's such a wasteful mentality.
iriver plate shows versatility. Hate when opinion is stick to Grime or you ain't real? Don't hold a player back!
Its this thing called money, people need it
I've no problem with people going pop etc, they need the money, feed the fam all that yeah
ChamMSB this ain't pop though artistic and heartfelt 💯
Them backing vocalist are something else!! They sounded like they'd been mixed down allready!!
Mate they from south or at least 1 of them. London is a madness x
This was actually 100x better than what I was expecting
It's mad that this one won't blow up even though it's the deepest verse he ever wrote. And it's just cause the instrumental doesn't bang on road and makes you look 'wet' or 'moist.'
fam his first live lounge was probs his best ever content along with not that deep and everyone just chatted shit about him singing. too many stormzy fans just want to mosh
Mist prayer and gangsign has some deep shit
Mist damn is that really how British people talk?
nah its ultra light beam that was Kanye's arguably biggest track on his massive album life of Pablo so stop chatting absolute gash you wetty as the only thing sounding moist is you.
@Aashvin Jeevan obviously but the fact its a conscious song isn't the reason why it wont blow up as it blew up for Kanye ..just stormzy isn't as good
Who else thinks stormz should just release this by itself LEGENDARY
Patrick Lewis kanye west and chance should do a collab with him! That would be legendary, since stormzy has earnt the rank of getting a collab wit em
Patrick Lewis rah you're like six with clout goggles, check yourself
@@ziyadomar5891 maybe not chance anymore, chance kinda falling off
@@statiq1941 that pic is clearly very old
@@ziyadomar5891 IMO, their lyrics feel to different to me for them to work, they may have good chemistry but there styles feel too dissimilar
Who else was waiting for him to spit a Chance verse?
praize olatoke chance is shit
Stephen Tried ahahaha Okayyy mate, chill..u don't know music 😂
how is chance shit, he just won 3 grammy awards few days ago lol..
Haha. Chance is not shit. The guy has his own style which you may not appreciate but he is not shit.
+king kendrick
Chance is definitely not shit, but Grammys certainly don't determine somebody's worth.
This straight gave me chills.. The album better be filled with this type flow else Dave taking his spot G
Aubrey Tetteh theres no spot to take, all the best mcs are sharing 1st place at the top bro
You know this genre is actually a competition, singers can coexist but rap is different bro!
Aubrey Tetteh you want to play with Dave's G spot
On1_Twenty First person to actually get it
Whatcha think of it
Intro]
Radio 1 Live Lounge
Myself Stormzy
This is a glorious occasion
Yeah, check it
[Hook]
We on an ultralight beam
We on an ultralight beam
This is a God dream
This is a God dream
This is everything
(Everything)
[Verse]
Yo, yeah, yo, they told me that by this time it would all be over
But I ain't running out of luck, I treat the game like poker
I know they put me on the poster just to match the quota
I'd rather be a Lionel Messi than a Frankie Zola
'Cause these old guys are washed and they're just getting older
And I ain't sending for the legends, that was for the cobras
Who move sour like I ain't been tryna spread the culture
And put my heart into this game like I'm some flipping donor
Days are getting dark, the nights are getting colder
And my city's getting worse, this stuff is getting vulgar
Pop a one Corona, Henny with some Coca Cola
Man, I was homeless I was sleeping in my dusty motor
But now we're always beefing with some bad promoters
Who tell us not to smoke on stage, but we're a bunch of smokers
For my fallen soldiers, rest in peace to Damilola
It's like I'm either very turnt or I'm just very sober
I'm either very gassed or I'm very reserved
I'm a wizard with the math, but I'm better with words
Say a prayer, then I watch all my enemies burn
Listening to Raleigh Ritchie or Melanie Burns
Mandem ask me for the help, then I send them a verse
A bunch of favors that will probably never return
And every medal on my shelf is a medal that I've earned
And I refuse to sign a deal on some terrible terms
That's why I'm unsigned, moving like I am signed
'Cause the mandem got their stuff together quick and made a brand shine
And trying to make a speedy little flip, that's not the plan, guys
Put everything into my flipping graft and watch it backfire
God forbid I ever let a label run my life
So if I ever sign a deal, just know I done it right
A little rum and Sprite's boosting up my summer nights
Someone tell the DJ pull it back, a brother's coming nice
I pray I never ever lose the sight of things
It's not the major ones, it's more the minor things
'Cuh every time I make another rack
I know my brother's in the trap and he's just waiting for his line to ring
And I'm supposed to be the one to bust the mandem
I hope my brothers know that I still love the mandem
It's just another day in the life
But I'd rather pay your mortgage than to pay for your flight
You feel me? You see, just imagine when we're 35
23 at the top, that's an early rise
With a model in the Hilton eating curly fries
Damn, what can I say, I lead a merky life
I was saving up my money just to buy a llama
'Cuh I refuse to be a victim in the hype and drama
Call me Mike Obama, messing with some higher karma
Smoking on dat, smoking on dat Maya Jama
[Hook]
(We on an ultralight beam)
We on an ultralight beam
This is a God dream
This is a God dream
This is everything
(Everything)
Hear me out, yo
We on an ultralight beam
We on an ultralight beam
This is a God dream
This is a God dream
This is everything
(Everything)
Radio 1 Live Lounge
Yeah
We on an ultralight beam
(We on an ultralight beam)
This is a God dream
(This is a God dream)
This is everything
Everything, yeah
[Outro]
This is what it sounds like when South London needs salvation (Yeah)
We refuse to compromise (Yeah)
We refuse to settle (Yeah)
This is a God dream
🧏🏼♂️
You deserve a medal
See now this is levels. Big man to the backing singers to that fire band 🔥🔥
smoking on that Maya Jama
User yeah about that...
Shouldn't have cheated...
i hope kanye appreciates this, big vibes
Damn it would be cool to see them speak together
Never any shout outs to the band. That's the serious talent.
Not even in the descriptions of the videos.
Poor show.
Mark Smith Tbh I meant both coz I didn't see him do it, but fair do's if he did before this edit. it would be nice to have seen stormzy thank them like you're saying he did. Why cut that out ?
Radio 1 should really put it in the description. I wanted to know who the ladies singing in Kano's live lounge were but there's no way to find out AFAIK.
60hugo60 Exactly!!! Why is this particular song only about Stormzy when really there's maybe 10 other musicians involved that people are actually interested in.
Destroy The Human he did on the radio but you didn't see that part. When Clara Amfo asked. But they should put it in the description
Agyako187 on the radio is only once and for only the people listening. This video is gonna be watched by more people and on for longer. Surely they should be recognising them here more?
Kanye brings these moments in life constantly, give the man the respect and love he deserves
The drummer 👏🏾
Stormzy spoke from his heart about the struggles he faces, It took a lot of effort for him to come out of his comfort zone and disply a different side to him which opened him up to vulnerability. Bless him, I am soo genuinly happy for his success, I hope his soul is at peace with his resolve to external pressures. god bless x
Sorry pressure is not been out to pay the rent or wondering what you gonna do when someone comes to repossessing from your house or pressures if you’ve got an I wondered if you got a job on the Monday.
Millionaires don’t struggle
4:02 "This is what it sounds like when South London meets salvation. We refuse to compromise." CHILLS.
for real......daaaamn!!
Me too. Literally
did anyone else think he was holding a tiny ping pong paddle in the thumbnail
Thanim Hasan 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanim Hasan underrated comment 😭😭
Thanim Hasan this is the funniest thing I've herd all year
Thanim Hasan 😂😂😂😂
Thanim Hasan loool
Stormzy is one of them people that suit not having eyebrows
How have I never noticed..
Great Now I can't unsee it
i-😭
And they say he is overrated
Micheal Olawoye yeah he is! that's not his shit, his shit is wack!
Kevine Wetshokonda these are his own lyrics you mong?
No people like you gas him up to much he's good but you fanboys make him goat like
yeah but hes undefeated ;)
B Dash yea lol-that's true
This was surprisingly good, keep up the good work stormz
Playboi Chris man said surprisingly stormzy always bangs
Trash
He's so much better when he's not catering to Cheeky Nando's lads by constantly throwing a bunch of hashtags around.
Liam D #murky
#Problem
Liam D #Relatable
pukeyourguts pause
Never heard of him until now, glad I did!
This was amazing!!
The choir lit af!!
Stormzy A1!!!
💯💯💯👌👌👌🎉🎉
WOW
So much emotion, pure raw honesty in his voice, makes this not just music. This is art
3 years on, still dope.
Absolutely love the direction Stormzy has been taking, so beautiful to see him grow and progress.
Heard this while i was working lit and S/O to Kanye best track of last year
2022. Still listening
2024 💪
2019 and this is still banging. Coldest verse from the man Stormz. Bring us some new heat this year
kanye is my all time fav artist and you did him justice , nice cover of a banger x
That snare sound is perfection!
This is incredible!! A lot of praise should go to the band as well
Wow... yes Stormzy ... shows what a man can do when ya give him the tools..
Bìg up the band and the backing singers .. massive respect to the Bìg man.. was flagging a little with that "boot tin" in my eyes but that proves me wrong I'm pleased to say... doing South London proud there son. On point
Refuse to compromise!!!
I wish this was on spotify so bad
His performance of this at Glasto 2019 blew me away 🔥🔥
me too, still waiting for an upload other than Iplayer!
So cold but fire at the same time. You're giving me headloss Michael.
youtube2mp3 on a mad one right now
I didn't know how much I needed to hear this
Omg this is everything
this brought tears to my eyes, so much passion
AMAZING! Brought me to tears, beautiful words
im seeing this for the 1st time in 2021...i wonder what ive been doing all along
Amazing vocals and band 🇬🇧
I got chills while listening to this.
This deserves so much more attention, this is fuckin beautiful! I remember seeing this on the day it came out and i still come back to it quite often
background vocals are amazing
He took us to church. Bravo
Ooh I got chills and a burning sensation when I listened to this
Still can’t stop coming back to this man
epic band performance
'Put my heart into the game just like some flippin doner' 🔥❤
Goosebumps every time I listen to this
Love this!
Well this is going to blow up.
1:51 shoutout to Raleigh Ritchie!
My man Torgo Nudho.
Liliya Leto “Torgo Nudho? Am I saying that correctly?”
Liliya Leto facts legendary grey worm
This is everything!!!
Best I've heard from Stormzy. Opened his heart
Deep inside that seemingly aggressive demeanor is a deep intelligence fierce poet with some of the best bars in rap music 🔥🔥
Stormzy is talented man... should sing more
Absolutely sweet
This is dope Stormzy ❤❤❤❤❤🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭👍👍👍
Sickkkk
Bruh im here for those amazing back up singers
Real emotional. Liking this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes Stormzy love it x
🔥🔥🔥
havent been impressed with stormzy lately but this is fire. goes so deep
This is beautiful!
this is beautiful.
Not a grime or rap fan at all, but this? This is one of the most surprisingly powerful songs I've ever heard. Nice one Stormzy
Its not stormzys song its a kanye song
its still a great verse from stormzy@@kingm8085
I really need someone to mix this and the original so in the middle of ultralight beam it’ll have stormzys verse
this was incredible sharing this defo
This song gives me goosebumps every time. I can't believe it's only got a mil views
It was good but I'm sorry no cover can ever top the masterpiece which was the original song. Chance's verse is one of the best in history without a doubt
Ayo Abiodun nah
Fck chance
+Saqib Munir Fuck you
One of the best in history lool fuck sake
Ayo Abiodun best in history? Maybe not. Best this year, definitely.
Chance's verse is amazing, but it doesn't match a Biggie, Pac, Nas, Rakim, Eminem, Jay Z, Big L, Big Pun or Andre 3000 verse. And there are plenty more rappers that have rapped better verses.
inb4 this goes viral
djdimension6 anything BBC live lounge does goes mad bru
Roo HOBBINS
Memory goals
this is absolutely amazing
RIP DAMILOLA
Cash Man cool
Cash Man who was Damilola?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Damilola_Taylor
Liam Huish was gonna do the same
Don't let this distract you from the fact that he lost to Kevin Hart in a rap battle looool
Salam Ahmed No one cares.
he lost that on purpose
no shame in that, Chocolate Droppa is legit
Aiden Howell lmfao
Salam Ahmed bro you know that was a joke right
This sounds so superb.
Powerful. Dude killed it. That drummer is off the chain. Blessings.
Rest in Peace Damilola Taylor
"I'd rather be a lionel Messi than a Frankie Zola"
Daaaaamn.
Love the drumming!
Still his most underrated song , what a fuckin masterpiece
Stormzy got singing skills.
He is damn talented.
I like his voice

Credit to the background musicians

Smoking on that Maya Jama

How have I not seen this before? Incredible
1:29 He is a prophet

This is everything!
