Son titre en dit long. La tête baissée, la couronne lourde, les yeux rivés sur le gilet pare-balles de Banksy, qui habilla son iconique prestation à Glastonbury : c’est sûr, Stormzy a repris un trône douloureux, celui du grime engagé contre les injustices sociales, aujourd'hui aux côtés du chef du parti travailliste Jeremy Corbyn. Avec son second opus, Michael Omari de son vrai nom, 24 ans seulement au compteur, clôture une année bien mouvementée pour l'Union Jack. Alors oui, sans surprise, Heavy Is the Head draine son lot de guest stars pour assurer un mélange R&B, grime et pop comme son prédécesseur Gang Signs & Prayers (2017). On retrouve Ed Sheeran et Burna Boy sur les basses d'un Own It parfaitement calibré pour les ondes, H.E.R sur One Second et YEBBA sur Don’t Forget to Breathe. Plus étonnant car il s’y refusait, le roi du grime dégage quelques espaces plus introspectifs comme ce Lessons, où il aborde sa rupture avec Maya Jama. Mais le MC de Croydon n’oublie pas son objectif principal. Egrenant quelques clins d’œil aux aînés dans les codes du genre (Wiley Flow, Bronze), Stormzy charge l’opus de quelques bangers aux beats claustrophobiques. Si Audacity avec Headie One mitraille la nouvelle génération de rappeurs, l’art de la formule et les rimes sur les laissés-pour-compte de la politique libérale opèrent sur Vossi Bop (« I could never die, I'm Chuck Norris / Fuck the governement and Fuck Boris ») que l’épaisse foule de Glastonbury scandait en chœur. Shut Up et ses millions de vues sur YouTube avaient déjà posé les jalons en 2015 : le grime n'habite plus dans les faubourgs. © Charlotte Saintoin/Qobuz
