In what has been an outstanding year for the grime MC, not least through his huge MOBO win and newly announced residency on Apple Music's Beats1 station, Stormzy is looking to cap it all off with an elusive Christmas number one, taking on the likes of X Factor's winner Louisa Johnson, the Star Wars theme, and Justin Bieber.

With the video, which sees Stormzy lay down freestyle bars over Ruff Sqwad's 'Functions On The Low' already at 13million views (above), the South London wordsmith is certainly in with a chance, with Coral placing him at 6/1. Buy the track here, and make a difference this Christmas.
