Wretch 32 (@Wretch32) – Wonderland Interview

“Make a number one? Why don’t we make a song? I like vibes, man; I don’t like when I’m in a studio and it feels like I’m in an office.” Wretch 32 has been at the forefront of the British underground urban scene for years, dishing out his devilish blend of grime, hip-hop, reggae and dancehall to an appreciative audience. Wonderland found the rapper in an uncharacteristically reflective mood on the set of ‘Blackout’, musing on the nature of fame, image and why mixtapes are one way to give back to the fans — and get a few new ones in return.

J. Cole, Music News

From MTV:

His Roc Nation debut, Cole World: The Sideline Story was a continuation of his basketball-themed mixtape series, which began with 2007’s The Come Up, but album number two ushers in a new era.

J. Cole Will Use ‘Born Sinner’ As A ‘Canvas’ To Get His Message Across
“It was just time for something new. I wouldn’t have minded doing it again but I felt that I closed that story,” Cole said of the new title. “That metaphor and that storyline had really ended. Metaphorically I was just a kid working to get on this basketball team, got cut — that was The Come Up, then The Warm Up was like, alright I made the team, I’m on the team, now what? I’m not in the game, I’ll just ride the end of the bench. Then Friday Night Lights was like ‘come on man, you’re still not gonna put me in the game? What I gotta do? Here, I’m gonna kill it in practice.’ ”

Finally, his studio album completed the cycle. “Sideline Story was like, ‘Wow, I really am starting now,’ and I feel like I ended that chapter when it’s all said and done. Plus, this new theme is really more reflective of where I’m at and where I’ve been at for the past two years, so it was just perfect to move on.”
