Wretch 32

“The rapper’s rapper” – The Guardian

“Wretch 32 is one of the best lyricists in the game’ – Tinie Tempah

“Wretch’s louche charisma is so captivating that he’d upstage Marah Carey just by reading from a Chinese take-away menu between verses.” NME

“Wretch’s desire to rank beside Kanye and Jay-Z may not be that far-fetched” – Uncut

‘It doesn’t take a genius to see that fending off A-listers in the charts is truly where Wretch 32 belongs” – The Independent

Nowadays everybody’s talking about 26 year old Jermaine Scott, aka Wretch 32. Adele, Jessie J and Rio Ferdinand have penned excited tweets about him, Liam Gallagher and Nikki Minaj have praised his music in interviews, 50 Cent’s blogged about him, and P Diddy, Nas and Mark Ronson have asked him to jump up on stage with them. Chipmunk, The Streets and Wiley were among the first to ask him to record with them, and Professor Green and Tinie Tempah followed suit shortly after, inviting him to support them on tour. While Ian Brown gave him the green light to use a sample from the Stone Roses’ Fools Gold for his #2 single ‘Unorthodox’, a collaboration with fellow London rapper Example, who has compared Wretch’s ‘charismatic, effortless flow’ with that of Jay Z.

The metaphor man, as he’s become known since being coined by the grime glitterati – has lived up to the hype. Wretch 32 has long been a name of the underground, from his days in grime groups ‘Combination Chain Gang’ and ‘The Movement’ alongside Scorcher, Ghetts and Mercston, back when Wretch sold his mixtapes to get by. Following the success of his ‘Teacher’s Training Day’ and ‘Wretchrospective’ mixtape he was signed to Ministry Of Sound/Levels Recordings and went in at number 5 on the UK chart with his debut single ‘Traktor’. Wretch repeated success with his second single ‘Unorthodox’ featuring Example and then again taking the number one spot with ‘Don’t Go’ certifying his place as one of the UK’s leading lyricists across both underground and mainstream.

Recent years have seen the emergence of UK hip hop to the mainstream with rappers like Tinchy Stryder, Tinie Tempah, Chipmunk, Professor Green, Giggs and Devlin hitting the charts. UK Hip Hop even more so boomed in 2011 with the continued rise of the aforementioned emcees and the rise of Wretch 32. Not that his peers will begrudge his ascension to the Britrap pantheon, because they all go way back, and besides, Wretch and Devlin and Chipmunk – and other legendary MCs such as Wiley, Bashy and Scorcher – have been collaborating and appearing on each other’s mixtapes since the mid-noughties.

“It’s like six or seven kids playing football, and five of them end up in the Premiership,” says Wretch of his former running mates from north and east London, a stellar group whose ranks he’s about to join at the top. “There’s no rivalry – that’s just the press making something of it. We still catch up all the time.”

Wretch brings a dazzling lyricism and poetic resonance to bear on UK rap, borne out of his experiences growing up among the grim high rises of Tottenham’s Tiverton Estate, along with Broadwater Farm the area’s most notorious urban sprawl. At Northumberland Park Community Secondary School, Wretch, born in March 1985, was, by his own estimation, “not very academic”. He describes himself variously as “the centre of attention, the class clown, and the teachers’ worst nightmare” – he went down “the foolish route”, in the words of My Life, a typically emotive track from his 2007 mixtape Teacher’s Training Day.

Wretch became a father himself at 21. He admits that having a four-year-old son has given him extra impetus to succeed, especially coming from the insular world of north London, where it is hard to break out and succeed. After being kicked out from home at 17, which Wretch remarks as “the best thing that ever happened to me”: as it forced him to face the harsh realities of life, he became independent and really began pushing his music using his council flat as the headquarters for Team Wretch a.k.a Combination Chain Gang.

He heard a lot of reggae as a kid, because of his dad, and his mum and sisters played a lot of lovers rock and R&B. Later, he discovered American hip hop – P Diddy, Ma$e, 2Pac, Jay-Z. “That’s where I come from,” he explains, alluding to his own approach. “It’s storytelling with heartfelt, sung choruses. I like hooks, music with the catchiness of R&B and the grittiness of hip hop with a touch of reggae in the rhyme patterns.”

The story behind Wretch 32, is similar to that of the classic underdog, rising above the struggles of their past to create a future for themselves. Wretch is now celebrity status. His success of 2011 flowed into 2012 with Wretch supporting Example on a National Arena tour, before headlining his own national tour. Adidas pushed Wretch as the lead in their Take the Stage Olympic campaign and advert with plastered the nation. Further success was attained when Wretch won a BET Award for Best International Artist, proclaiming that his music had made impact across the Atlantic also. Now having sold over a million records, Wretch is back hard at work on new music, both collaborating with artists of the likes of Ed Sheeran, Devlin and Cheryl Cole whilst also putting together his second album assured to again take the world by storm.
