Wretch 32 - Traktor


Traktor is one of those songs that you just can’t ignore. That rumbling bassline just worms its way into your head, while slamming beats transform this into a ready-made smash for clubs and radio alike. Oh, and there’s a genius reference to The Jeremy Kyle Show thrown into the mix too. Like all the best hip-hop, the cultural references are quick-witted and laced with humour, and Wretch 32 AKA. 25 year old Jeremiah Scott is a dab hand at it. Tinie Tempah clearly agrees too, proclaiming him ‘one of the best lyricists in the game’. Devlin is also a big fan.
Tipped in the BBC Sound of 2011 and with support slots with Professor Green and Example, he’s the next in the line of a strong pedigree of new British rap stars. When the guy’s already sold 15,000 mixtapes in his home-turf of Tottenham, you’ve got to admire his business skills too.
