UK grime artist Stormzy has placed third in the final BBC Sound of 2015 shortlist.  

With the support of Wiley, Skepta and Lethal B behind him, all signs point to Stormzy's relentless race into the future as leader of the neo-grime movement to prove revolutionary in 2015.

"Lyrically on the top of his game and a real music man at heart; as he manages to be accessible without having to dumb down his content I believe Stormzy will help take Grime culture to a bigger audience without compromise," said Radio One's Mistajam.

It's a pretty hip-hop and urban-based shortlist so far, with George The Poet at No.5 and US rapper Raury at No.4 so far.

Hoping to score a place in the remaining top two spots are James Bay, Years & Years, Wolf Alice, Slaves and more.
