Synopsis

THE #MERKY STORY SO FAR

Words by Stormzy Contributions by Team #Merky Images by Kaylum Dennis

'It's been a long time coming, I swear...'

In three years Stormzy has risen from one of the most promising musicians of his generation to a spokesperson for a generation. Rise Up is the story of how he got there. It's a story about faith and the ideas worth fighting for. It's about knowing where you're from, and where you're going. It's about following your dreams without compromising who you are.

Featuring hundreds of never-before-seen photographs, annotated lyrics and contributions from those closest to him, Rise Up is Stormzy's story, in his words, and the record of a journey unlike any other.
