Stormzy has shared the new video for the Kehlani-featured track, ‘Cigarettes & Cush’ – and you can watch the video below. It’s the third video to be made from his much praised debut album Gang Signs & Prayer and follows in the wake of ‘Big For Your Boots’ and ‘Cold’.
And quite the video it is, too. ‘Cigarettes & Kush’ stars Stormzy and Andrea Ali in the leading roles as a smooth weed dealer and his girlfriend. Their relationship is fuelled by tons of herculean puffing but their true occupations – she works the police – are unknown to each other. And yet, when they come to realise who they both really are, the questions arises of whether their relationship will survive or not.
To find out if love conquers all and if the feds get their man, you’ll have to check out the video below:
