Before he was a world-famous MC, Stormzy got his start uploading DIY freestyle videos in which he spit nonstop bars over hard-edged grime beats in streets and parks near his South London home. So it makes sense that the knockout track from his eclectic debut album, Gang Signs & Prayer, simply showcases his high-octane rapping and palpable charisma over a jagged instrumental, proving that he deserves to take a seat next to grime greats like Dizzee Rascal and Wiley. On “Big for Your Boots,” Stormzy fires off a barrage of disses directed at his enemies and rap rivals. “You’re getting way too big for your boots/You’re never too big for my boot,” he raps in the chorus, emphasizing the last syllable with maniacal glee. Considering the fact that he’s 6-foot-5 and wears a size 12 shoe, any detractors would be wise to heed his warning. –Michelle Kim

在他成为世界知名的MC之前，Stormzy开始上传自制的即兴说唱视频，在这里，他在伦敦南部家附近的街道和公园里用强横的脏话来传唱。因此，在他独具一格的首张专辑《Gang Signs & Prayer（帮派标志与祈祷）》中的歌曲，就理所应当地在锯齿乐器伴奏中轻松展示了他火力全开的饶舌和显而易见的魅力，并以此证明他值得与伟大饶舌歌手如Dizzee Rascal和Wiley相提并论。在“Big for Your Boots（自负）”中，Stormzy向他的敌人和对手发出一连串的抨击：“你太自命不凡了/你永远比不上我”他这样唱到，并用狂欢般的上扬来强调最后一个音节。考虑到他身高6英尺5英和12码的脚，任何诋毁他的人都理应听从他的警告。
