Stormzy's album released on December 13, a day after British general election results came out. Stormzy was extensively supporting the Labour party and was against Britain leaving the European Union, which is also known as BREXIT. The election results in favour of Boris Johnson have obviously upset the Shut Up singer but that didn't stop him from releasing his latest album.
