Shardeya's World: #WRETCH32INVASION

This time 2 weeks ago I was filled with excitement as I knew in a few hours time, I was being treated by my good friend Mayah & finally getting the chance to see my favourite UK artist, Wretch 32 perform live at a secret gig being filmed for Channel 4. Now as you may or may not know I have been a massive fan of his since he released his first mixtape and was selling them down Seven Sisters Market. Since then I have not looked back and have every mixtape and album he has released… So you can imagine how excited I was.

Having seen Wretch 32 perform live at a variety of events I have never had the chance to see him in his own concert.

Despite waiting nearly 3 hours before Wretch 32 came on stage, I am happy to say that he lived up to my expectations. In the build up to waiting for Wretch we was entertained by Twin B who got the crowd warmed up by spinning the hottest tracks around at the moment & we was also treated to a special performance by Wretch 32 supporting act, Smiler (a UK recently signed rapper) and his guest artist My Nature. (If you have not heard of them before and you like UK rap check them out on youtube). Performing a few of his tracks and his own version of "House of Pain – Jump Around" he definitely done a good job in getting the crowd hyped & excited for what was about to come.

After what seemed like forever, Mr Wretch 32 along with his Live Band decided to grace us with their presence and start off with a bang, opening the concert with the first track (Black & White) off his new album "Black and White".

Wretch 32 mainly performed tracks from his new album, which included hits such as; Tracktor, Dont Go, Forgiveness (his new single), I am not the Man and Anniversary (Fall In Love). He also took us back a little and performed “Be Cool”.

As well as treating us to a live band he also surprised us with some special guests such as; Scorcher, Etta Bond & Loick Essien to name a few...

Overall his performance was brilliant & definitely made the waiting around worth it. The night had too many highlights and funny moments that I personally would never forget but my main highlights of the night had to be; when Scorcher appeared on stage, when Bart from Hollyoaks randomly jumped on stage during the middle of Wretch's performance (if your a fan of Hollyoaks you would have seen it on Hollyoaks 2 Fridays ago) and when he performed Tracktor which sent the crowd mad!!

My disappointment of the night had to be the fact that we was soo sooo soo close to Wretch 32 but never got the chance to get a picture taken with him, but oh well maybe another time.

For now, check out some pictures taken on the night, sorry for the not so good quality pictures I left my camera at home and had to use my fone and I was over tired that day as well but in the words of Wretch 32 "Ahhh Yeaaa"….
