<\/div>\n

Stormzy<\/a> has released a new single, \u201cSounds of the Skeng,\u201d the third song to emerge from the British rapper\u2019s upcoming album. The fast-talking track, produced by Sir Spyro, follows \u201cVossi Bop\u201d<\/a> and \u201cCrown.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

The single art pays homage to The Sound of Music<\/em>, but \u201cSounds of the Skeng\u201d doesn\u2019t have any of that musical whimsy. The hard-punching number follows up on Stormzy\u2019s 2017 track \u201cMr. Skeng,\u201d off his debut album Gang Signs & Prayer<\/em>, drawing on some of the same references in the lyrics. On the track, the rapper spits, \u201cFive whole years on the circuit\/ Every single year I merk it\/ Every single year\/ I switch flows, they jerk it\/ I flip more, then reverse it\/ Told bro reimburse it, I just hope that it\u2019s worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stormzy has been working on his follow-up to Gang Signs & Prayers<\/em>, but a release date has not yet been announced. In June, he became the first rapper to headline Glastonbury.  This month, Stormzy will be part of the judging panel for this year\u2019s Mercury Music Prize alongside Jamie Cullum, Jorja Smith, Annie Mac and Gaz Coombes.<\/p>\n

The rapper also recently appeared on Ed Sheeran<\/a>\u2019s \u201cTake Me Back to London,\u201d from the singer\u2019s album No.6 Collaborations Project<\/em>. A remix of the track<\/a>, also produced by Sir Spyro, went to No. 1 on the U.K. singles chart earlier this month.<\/p>\n
