N°124 WRETCH 32 - DON'T GO

Wretch32 (pronounce as Wretch Three Two and not Thirty Two) worked on a song with Da Weasel and that’s exactly why I’ve used him in my music link. He’s born and raised in London where he joined two different Grime crews, Combination Chain Gang and The Movement. As a solo artist he got picked up after a live performance at the 2007 MP3 Music Awards. After this he was given the chance to create a first full album named Wretchrospective; released in 2008. Back in these days he also created a few mixtapes with grime, urban and hiphop sounds making his name in this particular part of the music business. 

Early 2011 he released a debut single ‘Traktor’ which would later that year appear on his second album Black And White. The single would debut in the charts at number 5 and his album got picked up by a bigger audience. More singles were released such as ‘Unorthodox’ carrying a sample of Stone Roses hit ‘Fools Gold’. At the end of the year a third single saw the light and brought him another success in the UK.

He now started touring with a UK Arena tour bringing his sound to the world and in his latest touring performances he brought a brand new song to his fans with the title ‘Blur’. It is supposed to be the first single of his newest album foreseen for 2013. This single also features on the latest FIFA13 soundtrack as one of the themes.
