Stormzy returns with new single 'Toxic Trait'

Fresh off the back of his third consecutive #1 album ‘This Is What I Mean’ at the end of last year, Stormzy has returned once again to deliver a brand new single.

The new track 'Toxic Trait' sees him team up with Fredo for the release, was produced by Santan (AKA British rapper Dave), and comes accompanied by a brilliant new video, directed by Femi Ladi.

Speaking about the new visuals, director Femi said, “After listening to the lyrics, I wanted to have fun with this video. I liked the idea of bringing a renaissance-style painting to life, whilst still feeling grounded in the world of Stormzy. We collaborated on all the scenarios together which was great - as well as being able to bring in the likes of Fredo and Alison Hammond for their own toxic therapy sessions!"
