On the international scene, English grime and Hip Hop artist, Stormzy, was the biggest winner of the night winning in three prestigious categories – “Best Male Artist”, “Best Grime Act” and “Best Album”. His debut album “Gang Signs & Prayers” released in February 2017 became the first grime album to reach number one on the UK Albums Chart.
