Tinie Tempah is a young up and coming British rapper from South London. The comparisons to fellow grime rapper Dizzee Rascal make sense, although Tinie Tempah seems a bit more accessible to the masses. This can be proven with his recent success.
He just hit #1 on the UK singles chart for “Pass Out”. We all know rap isn’t really my “forte” but I gotta say “Pass Out” is very tight. He has a smooth delivery that creates magic over the fresh beat backing up his game. This is a nice refreshing change from all the rap on the radio over here. This is probably one of my favorite rap songs of the year, by far.
His debut album The Disc-Overy is coming out in July, so we shall see how the rest of the album pans out. Props to Rogo for posting about him and leading me to this discovery!
