Stormzy and Calvin Harris team up after doing well in Ibiza, with rapper and DJ hoping to storm to the top of the charts’
Stormy and Calvin Harris are reportedly teaming up after hitting it off in Ibiza.
The rapper, 30, and the DJ, 39, are said to be planning a song together when they’re both next on the Spanish party island.
Croydon-born star Stormzy flew to the White Isle with friends last month and the two stars reportedly bonded over Calvin’s warm-up party at Ushuaia nightclub.
A source told it Sunday mirror: ‘Stormzy has admired Calvin for a long time. Both are big fans of the dance capital, with Stormzy previously holding his #MerkyFestival at Ibiza Rocks. Stormzy surprised everyone by releasing songs almost weekly.
‘But so far he hasn’t made it with his employees. Ibiza is the perfect setting to let their creative juices come together.

“The next time he’s there, they’re working on a project.”
MailOnline has reached out to representatives for Stormzy and Calvin for comment.
All three of Stormzy’s albums have reached number one on the charts, but he has three No. 1 singles.
Scottish hitmaker Calvin has reached the top of the charts with a whopping 11 singles.
In March, Calvin and Ellie Goulding topped the charts for eight weeks with their single Miracle.
However, Stormzy’s releases with Fredo, titled Toxic Trait, and Raye, titled The Weekend, peaked at number 11 and number 23, respectively.
Meanwhile, it was recently reported that Stormzy will release new music “sooner rather than later.”
He released his latest album This Is What I Mean in November, and his producer PRGRSHN – who worked on most of the tracks, including the hit Hide and Seek – has announced some new material in the pipeline.

According to the Daily starsaid the producer: ‘We always try to stay creative and make new music.
“Maybe you’ll see him sooner rather than later, I’m not sure.”
The producer admitted that Stormzy must be “inspired” to create.
He added, “At the end of the day, he’s an artist who needs to be inspired, so once he’s inspired, there’s bound to be new music.”
However, fans shouldn’t have to wait too long after a report earlier this year claimed he was already working on new material.
A source told The sun: ‘Stormzy is not resting on his laurels and is already writing and recording new songs.
“Artistically, he seems to be the strongest and most creative he’s ever been. Stormzy’s been doing some stuff at Qube studios in London. He registered a new track in a songwriting database earlier this month.
“The song is called Fire and it’s definitely a potential hit.”

And it’s believed that Stormzy could release another album this year.
The insider added: ‘Those around Stormzy think the song could spawn a new album. It’s really empowering and moving – and is very much along the lines of This Is What I Mean.
His label is really excited about what they’re hearing and it shouldn’t surprise anyone if Stormzy strikes while the iron is hot and releases new music this year.
“It’s a very exciting time for him.”
