A photo-portrait of UK rapper Stormzy has been hung in the London National Portrait Gallery, with Gallery director Nicholas Cullinan saying he was delighted to exhibit the portrait “as a contemporary intervention", the Bustle reports. The image by Mark Mattock features the rapper wearing a crown made up of the letters HITH, standing for 'Heavy Is the Head', the name of his new album, and Stormzy himself if pictured gazing at the Banksy-designed stab-proof vest he wore for his headline performance at 2019’s Glastonbury festival.
