Rapper Aitch shows off impressive parkour skills as he fills Stormzy’s shoes for new campaign

Aitch might be best known for his skills on the mic, but the rapper took on parkour for his latest role as the new face of Relentless Energy Drink, taking over from Stormzy in the process. 

In a video, premiered exclusively on metro.co.uk, Aitch lives out his fantasy day in his hometown of Manchester as part of the brand’s #WithoutLimits campaign.

The 21-year-old can be seen leaving his grand home and butler to scale rooftops as part of his quest to make it to the studio on time. 

After the artist stops to check out the posters of himself on the outside of a corner shop, the owner is seen realising he has a superstar in his midst after recognising Aitch from the side of a Relentless can. 

One quick-change in the back of a car later, Aitch finally arrives at the studio in a cloud of smoke, dazzling waiting fans in a crisp white suit as he steps out of his chauffeured ride. 

Aitch’s campaign with the brand sees him following in the footsteps of grime star Stormzy, who was previously the face of the energy drink.

Explaining what the campaign slogan means to him, Aitch says: ‘To live without limits is to wear the clothes that you want to wear, listen to the music you want to listen to, and one million percent believe that you can do whatever you set your mind to. 

‘Whoever you are and wherever you come from, the world is in your hands, and nothing is impossible. Yeah, that’s living without limits!’

The Taste (Make It Shake) star has only been releasing music since 2018 but has already racked up six top 10 hits as well as collaborations with stars including Ed Sheeran, Stormzy, Stefflon Don, AJ Tracey and Headie One.

He has also smashed over 1billion global streams and recorded over 5million worldwide record sales.

Aitch was also highly praised by fans recently for featuring curvy women in his latest video for Learning Curve, after he spoke out against trolls who criticised the choice of models. 

Responding to the comments, Aitch wrote in his Instagram stories: ‘All the man hating on the girls on my new post are iiiiidiots [sic]. 

‘First of all you could never even come near these girls, they don’t want you. They’re too leng for you.

‘Also, chatting this s**t ain’t gonna help you get the “slim” girls. It’s just gonna make everyone hate you more lol. 

‘Furthermore you couldn’t even handle these ladies with your little d**k hating a*s energy. They need the reeeeeeeal suttn [sic].’
