It's 1am at The Main II, a squalid room off Austin's bustling East 6th Street that's packed with people. Stormzy enters the room and climbs on stage to join his DJ who's been warming up the room for the last 15 mins. Immediately, the crowd goes wild - arms are thrown in the air, bodies moving and cheers roared. 'Shut Up' and 'Know Me From' close the set a little while later, and both are yelled back at the London rapper as if he's playing a hometown show.
