It has come to my attention that I haven’t really gotten to notice a lot of UK Hip Hop artists around. Grime – yes, Hip Hop – not so much…so thanks to a certain friend (Who will read this and take credit) she let me know about Tinie Tempah’s new track “Written In The Stars”.

Weirdly enough I started giving him a listen few days before being asked an opinion, as a part-time lyricist also along with the likes of Swiff/G-Swaby, we have to be aware of whats out there and the different styles each emcee brings to the table. At first thought of hearing upon “Pass Out” I said: “He’s alright, voice is a bit irritating but deal-able, lyrics are okay, but to be honest I prefer his instrumentals than I would his words.” Cause lets face it, the dude has decent beats to rhyme over.

His latest track however, is something interesting in both rhyme and beat, another kind of track with a catchy chorus to which eventually the whole track will grow onto you. The video replicates fairly related scenes in a persons everyday life – Using music to get away from difficult times, beating doubts and using it to eventually get to where he’s at now: singing with Jesus on the piano.
