Today marks Grime superstar Stormzy's debut alum release and in order to celebrate it, he's playing a secret set on a football field in Camden.
Stormzy has put out a tweet saying "Castlehaven Park - Camden - 1pm". It's a great way for fans living locally to get to see the 'Big For Your Boots' star play for free. This is an artist who sold out Brixton Academy in 7 minutes and sold a million singles worldwide so expect some serious energy being thrown about this afternoon when he turns up to play a set.
Stormzy is amazing at getting the crowd going and the 6ft 5inch tall MC has some slick dance moves and utilses every square meter of the stage with his boundless energy. He was a highlight of Sonar Festival 2016 but this year his festival shows are going to be far more oversubscribed now that the album is out and everyone can get a sense of just how ambitious and great he is.

The album, which was tipped by Craig David at the BBC Music Awards to be a success when we chatted to him on the red carpet, was also backed by Wiley to be a smash in an interview we had with him at the NME Awards 2017.
You can get the album, which features guest appearances from the likes of Kehlani, Lily Allen and J Hus here, and see why legends of the industry are so excited about this newcomer who is going to go down as a legend in the history of British music.
Elsewhere, Stormzy collaborated with Ed Sheeran at the Brit Awards for Sheeran's hit new single 'Shape Of You'.
