HERITAGE: Stormzy Gets Singalongs During This 1Xtra Live Performance Of "Shut Up" (2015)


August 17, 2021

If you've ever seen Stormzy live you'll know that one of the guaranteed highlights is "Shut Up". It may not hit quite as hard as it did when it first dropped, but in 2015 it was the anthem, guaranteed to get every single person in the room singing the melody from XTC's "Functions On The Low".

After Skepta and Meridian Dan sent grime shooting back into the public consciousness in 2013/14, Stormzy rode through as the leader of the new gen and made 2015 his year. This performance towards the end of the year was a triumphant one and just a small taste of the mainstream dominance that awaited him.
