The South London rapper shared an intimate message to his fans hours before the project was due. Tyler, the Creator was the inspiration for the post after he penned a similar note before releasing Igor in 2019.
While Stormzy admitted he would have preferred to let his “music do all the talking,” it was important to him to explain the ethos behind his music and how he would like the album to be received.
The artist also shared a handwritten note on Instagram, diving deeper into his psyche and providing more context to the album; Stormzy explained that This Is What I Mean is simply his way of celebrating music and his devotion to it as a whole, telling listeners that he hopes they can listen to it in their own time with no distractions.
