Wretch 32 is the stage name for Jermaine Scott, a grime MC and rapper from London who began his career as a member of the city's famed hip-hop collective Combination Chain Gang. Having been educated in the ways of the MC by more experienced members of the collective, Wretch 32 began contributing his own original mixes in 2006 under his present stage name, earning him a significant amount of attention from those familiar with the collective and its output. After being showcased on BBC Radio 1 in 2009, Wretch 32 began his quick induction into the British mainstream with the release of his debut single "Traktor," proving once more that the young artist is truly a force to be reckoned with on the modern British hip-hop scene.
