Wretch32
Traktor

Ministry Of Sound/Levels

WE SAY

Jermaine Scott aka Wretch 32 has had underground success - the North London MC has sold an estimated 15,000 copies of his mixtapes. Arriving complete with praise from Professor Green, Devlin and Example, who all praise his wordplay, Wretch32 has collaborated with Chipmunk, Mike Skinner and Wiley and appeared live at Glastonbury and BBC's One Big Weekend. Now signed to Ministry imprint Levels Recordings, Traktor is his first official single. Described by Paul Lester at The Guardian as 'instantly, insanely infectious stuff', this feels like a crossover hit for early 2011. Traktor is already racking up plays on national radio, with Radio 1 support from Annie Mac, Zane Lowe, Mistajam and Nick Grimshaw. His first album due to be released by Ministry of Sound/Levels Recordings later next year. Video.
