Grime MC Stormzy showed us his softer side this weekend after releasing a new track “Birthday Girl.” Dedicated to his girlfriend, RinseFM DJ Maya Jama, the song is dead romantic. Rather than heavy handed lyrics promising over the top birthday celebrations, Stormzy raps about giving the Birthday Girl a realistic and low key birthday over a smooth backtrack produced by Sons of Sonix. Sounds like Stormzy is ideal boyfriend material (get in, Maya!).
Stormzy came onto Twitter yesterday to wish Maya a happy birthday, but hopes any girl who hears this on her birthday can feel just as special, too.
