Stormzy has joined the Beats 1 family, and will host a new show called #MERKY from Friday.
The show will begin on 20 November at 8pm-10pm (UK time).
Speaking after the announcement, Stormzy said: “I am so, so gassed to be joining the Beats 1 family. It’s a chance for me to show 100+ countries about the scene that I come from, the music I like and the artists I rate."
Back in September, Stormzy made chart history by becoming the first ever artist to enter the Top 40 with a freestyle.
Listen to Stormzy announce the show during Julie Adenuga's Beats 1 slot.
