Tag: Wretch 32

From the ground up, Wretch 32 has been about that hustle, crafting verses in school ICT rooms, then taking over pirate radio with his crew. His life’s a testament to grinding, where every bar he wrote was like a step up from the concrete of Tottenham. Now, he’s not just rapping, he’s directing at Def Jam, showing how you can switch from mixtapes to major labels without losing your essence. With “Black and British,” he’s shouting, demanding recognition and respect for Black British identity, mixing personal narrative with societal critique.
