Stormzy has sent a personal message to a school in Dublin ahead of the release of his new music video.
Students from Pobalscoil Neasain in Baldoyle were treated to an exclusive premiere of the video for his song 'Superheroes'.
The single taken from his number #1 album ‘Heavy Is The Head’.
The animation video for ‘Superheroes’ premiered exclusively within multiple school classrooms across Ireland and the UK today including to students from Pobalscoil Neasain.
Schools
The schools involved were picked at random and were situated within London, Glasgow, Dublin and Manchester.
In a speech to students, Stormzy says:
“I wanted to show it to you guys first [because] being students at school, I think it’s important that you guys understand how powerful you are... “Despite the colour of your skin, despite where you come from, despite your religion, despite whatever it is that you feel may be holding you back; you are a Superhero. So, I wanted to make this video to inspire you guys, to make you realise that the sky is the limit.”
The Dublin school has responded with a message to the rapper.
