Flute sensation Azeem Ward has covered Stormzy’s Shut Up

He said he wants to do a ‘cheeky collab’ with the grime MC


Azeem Ward has stolen our hearts once again with a cover of Stormzy’s Shut Up.

Many of us will remember Azeem Ward as the man behind the most popular flute recital of all time.

Now the international superstar has launched a comeback to rival Bieber.

After asking fans for recommendations on his Facebook page, Azeem was pointed towards Stormzy’s “Shut Up”.

 

We decided to test Azeem on his grime knowledge, to see just how much he knows about the UK’s favourite genre:

Hi Azeem. How can you relate to the song “Shut Up”?

When I asked on my FB Page, “Hey mates, what’s the next song I should cover?”, a couple of people answered “Shut Up! by Stormzy”. When I listened to track, I really liked the mood of the original tune by XTC. It’s a grime classic, so I figured I should cover it.

Who’s your favourite Grime MC?

Ummm… Stormzy?

If you were with Stormzy right now, what would you say to him?

Let’s collab over a cheeky tune!

Can you tell us what the following words mean?

Roadman 

Your mate that knows the cuts.

Zoot 

The secret to someone’s happiness.

Vexed

U mad?

Peak

Mt. Everest.

Allow

Erm… I agree?
