selling less than 70 000 copies after all the promo and mag covers and award shows. who does grime that makes the chart? no no one fcks with it but hood man dem who think it makes them hard and gets girls.

70k in the U.K. is pretty good numbers. U.K. has about 1/5 the population of U.S., those numbers extrapolated to the U.S. would be over 300k

Coachella is big festival with multiple major artist. You know damn they aint come for him.

 

[AB Ziggy]

nikkas underestimate the impact Stormzy and how far grime has come. They should've also put on Skepta too at the festival.


And don't be surprised if the budding afro-trap movement going in London also makes a presence in a couple years. Like it or not, the UK is making waves.

Drugged out young people will go crazy to all music.

Average album and overhyped. Grime has much better to offer. "Shut Up" a classic tho.

 

[BadBoy]

He can sing as well I wish he would do more of it. He covered frank oceans god speed and killed it

 

[Indiglow Meta (R$G)]

He made 700000 of his album. Prolly got a nice check from coachella. He won.

Nah, that's not how it works and I like grime.
He'd have to sell 70k physical copies with his own distro/promo/production done 100% independent...and cheap.
Judging by the amount of paid for press dude rolled out, plus other costs, I'd say you're off base.
They count streams now, right?
Artists don't get the whole dollar, bro.

Skepta killed his verse on the last A$AP joint

But that was over a dope rap beat and not grime

 

[New Username]

I mean C Styles got this type of reaction when he performed at somebody festival so it's not that impressive

 

[prophecypro]

Starting to feel like a lot of y'all never go to live shows or even watch them online.

OP is correct
