Stormzy - Ultralight Beam (Kanye West cover) in the Live Lounge

[@bricknasty7080]

backing band is fucking phenomenal

[@mrtuz2075]

they're amazing and the singer harmonies just beautiful

[@TheKawsik]

I'm pretty sure thats The Compozers.

[@juanitajohnson4419]

TheKawsik it's not lol

[@uk.deedee9985]

deffo not the compozers love lol what you see there is way more better than the compozers

That's probably the best verse I've ever heard from Stormz. Cold.

[@corescopeplays2789]

I Felt the same g usually not that impressed with his new shit but he went in on dis 1

[@georgej3398]

What part is his? i havnt heard the original song

[@kelvinleung6746]

The rap is his. Listen to the original though, its amazing :)

[@TheReddevil821]

Raz mataz Yeah fam it's up there, he's got the bars tho ya hear me, trust me. Man like Stormzy ya know.

[@madmaxmikeburr]

I love him. reminds me of dizzy/dirty rascal

[@justsaying1769]

Them backing vocalist are something else!! They sounded like they'd been mixed down allready!!

[@joebreezy2824]

Mate they from south or at least 1 of them. London is a madness x

[@deblazz1044]

For real tho, this drummer deserves mad cred... kinda unreal.

[@iriverplate]

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.

[@hardreality]

iriver plate real talk

[@sweet2def]

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.

[@daddyoknows3702]

iriver plate shows versatility. Hate when opinion is stick to Grime or you ain't real? Don't hold a player back!

[@ChamMSB]

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

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

[@kev2fuego]

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.'

[@Baioue]

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

[@dogmaticka]

Mist prayer and gangsign has some deep shit

[@ducklordthegreat352]

Mist damn is that really how British people talk?

[@minusdagreez8817]

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.

[@minusdagreez8817]

@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

[@sengric313]

This straight gave me chills.. The album better be filled with this type flow else Dave taking his spot G

[@mathavanarun]

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!

[@gregknight121]

Whatcha think of it

[@StRaWbeRrYsasha]

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

[@mickgauntlett5502]

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

[@ashalinton-lee8225]

So much emotion, pure raw honesty in his voice, makes this not just music. This is art

[@praiseolatoke]

Who else was waiting for him to spit a Chance verse?

[@rooos]

[@user-cl6sr4co1s]

how is chance shit, he just won 3 grammy awards few days ago lol..

[@LukaZiLa]

Haha. Chance is not shit. The guy has his own style which you may not appreciate but he is not shit.

[@SwaggiBaggi]

+king kendrick Chance is definitely not shit, but Grammys certainly don't determine somebody's worth.

[@OllyBobHudson]

See now this is levels. Big man to the backing singers to that fire band 🔥🔥

Never any shout outs to the band. That's the serious talent. Not even in the descriptions of the videos. Poor show.

[@RyRyTeaBragg]

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 ?

[@60hugo60]

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.

[@RyRyTeaBragg]

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.

[@Agyako187]

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

[@RyRyTeaBragg]

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?

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.
