Stormzy at Glastonbury: ‘leaving a legacy for black people beyond just his industry’

Grime artist Stormzy has become the first black British solo artist to headline Glastonbury’s famous pyramid stage in the festival’s 49-year history.

He used his set to highlight a number of social issues personal to him, including the disproportionate number of black men in prisons, a dig at Tory leadership candidate Boris Johnson, and brought on the ‘Ballet Black’ dance company to perform.

So is Stormzy more than just a grime artist?

We speak with writer and commentator, Nels Abbey; the author Ore Ogunbiyi, whose debut book ‘Taking Up Space, the Black Girl’s Manifesto for Change’ is being released under Stormzy’s own publishing house; and ten year old dancer, Princess K, who performed with Stormzy at Glastonbury.
