I go out with my housemates in London and I hear this song. Everyone seems to go wild!!! I ask ‘Who is rapping?’ Then there is a wave of disbelief circulating. ‘OMGOSH you don’t know who Tinie Tempah is?’ My response ‘WHOOO?’ I realised that I might as well shut up, go to Google and try and figure out who Tinie Tempah is in secret!
British born Nigerian Patrick Chukwuemeka Okogwu Jr. aka Tinie Tempah is indisputably Britain’s breakout performer of 2010. He has already toured with the likes of Rihanna, Jay-Z and collaborated with Kelly Rowland.
I have read a few of his interviews and watched in on 106 & Park and I realised that this guy seems to take everyday as an opportunity. For that alone, I give him the thumbs up. Although, I am still deciding what I think of the song. But his outlook to all the fame and his art is inspirational.
I just want people to know that I’m a young guy trying to live out his dream and do everything possible to make that dream happen. I’m an average, regular guy from South London, but at the same time I want it all – and I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure that happens. I want people to see this is not a joke to me; now I’m here and I’ve been given the opportunity, I’m not messing around.
