Time magazine has named Stormzy one of its “next generation leaders” in the US news weekly’s annual list of young trailblazers.
The rapper sits alongside Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg, American actor Tessa Thompson and Spanish musician Rosalía on the list.
The 26-year-old rapper appears on the cover of the magazine and was interviewed by the Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race author, Reni Eddo-Lodge.
“I proper felt like I needed to do that,” he told Time. “There’s been this historical thing of letting one black person in at a time.”
