±«Óătv Radio 1Xtra's Hot 4 2011: Wretch 32 - Traktor

Wretch 32 has been tipped for success in our annual poll. Described by fellow MC Devlin as “the metaphor man”, Wretch 32 has grafted tirelessly on the UK underground scene for many years, collaborating with the likes of Chipmunk, Wiley and Sway and forming The Movement with artists including Ghetts and Devlin. With his unique blend of grime and hip hop, the 25-year-old has dropped several mixtapes and albums, including “Teacher’s Training Day” and “Wretchrospective”. Hailing from Tottenham, London, the newly signed Wretch is ready to release his first major label single “Traktor” on Ministry of Sound/Levels Recordings, signifying a giant splash into the mainstream. 1Xtra has been instrumental in Wretch’s journey - he was initially spotted by DJ Cameo, became the recipient of the 1Xtra Most Street Heat mixtape award in 2006 and was first playlisted by the station in 2007.
