"Vossi Bop" was Stormzy's return in April 2019: the lead single from his second album, Heavy Is the Head, and his first solo music since Gang Signs & Prayer in 2017, after a stretch spent chasing interests outside music. The idea went back to around 2015 or 2016, when he met a fan called Vossi who was dancing flat out to one of his tracks, and the song grew from there. Chris Andoh produced it and wrote it with Stormzy and Dakarai Forbes, Mark “Spike” Stent mixed it, and the video landed the same day.
The lean grime rattle went straight in at the top of the UK Singles Chart, his first number-one single. When fans misheard a word in the opening line, Stormzy went on Twitter to put them right.
