UK hip hop’s newest superstar, London MC Tinie Tempah, releases his second single ‘Frisky’ on June 7th. His debut single ‘Pass Out’ topped the charts and is the biggest selling single by any UK artist this year.
Winning plaudits for not compromising his sound and bringing the underground to the forefront, Tinie once again delivers a tune that makes no compromises. ‘Frisky’ is a stomper of a track, a speaker – rattling party anthem full of schizophrenic synths, pulsating beats and Tinie’s trademark witty and hilariously catchy lyrics. Featuring and produced by his comrade, Labrinth this is another belter of a song that is sure to reign supreme at this years summer festivals.
‘Frisky’ is the follow up release to Tinie’s groundbreaking and innovative debut single, ‘Pass Out’ which remained at the top of the UK charts for two consecutive weeks and has sold over 350,000 copies in 6 weeks. The video for the track has now had over 7 million views on youtube. It’s a phenomenal result and clear testament to the enormous talent, drive and ambition of this 21 year old from South London.
Tinie is a shining example that hard work and believing in yourself still pays off. Tinie has worked solidly from the age of 16 establishing his record label ‘Disturbing London’ and building up his fanbase using his internet savvy, contacts and determination. He also has the respect of his peers who consider him to be one of the most intelligent, stylish and entrepreneurial MC’s this country has produced.
