Wretch 32<\/p><\/div>\n

Wretch 32, signed to Ministry Of Sound\/Levels Recordings, is currently riding high in the UK charts with his latest single, Unorthodox, a collaboration with fellow rapper Example.\u00a0 His tracks draw on his experiences growing up among the high rises of Tottenham\u2019s Tiverton Estate and the notorious Broadwater Farm. His first major label single, Traktor, reached the UK Top 10 in January.<\/p>\n

Wretch 32 says: “…It\u2019s tough for kids growing up \u2013 so easy to make foolish choices. I\u2019m behind anything that gives them a chance to achieve their dreams, get out of the situation they\u2019re in…I\u2019ve come out the other side and the music industry is a paradise for me \u2013 hopefully this will give other kids the chance to experience that too.\u201d For more information visit: http:\/\/www.choice-fm.co.uk\/life\/music-potential\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n
