Wretch 32 became a household name following the release of his second studio album back in 2011, with Traktor and Unorthodox becoming sounds of the summer, and Don’t Go earning him his first number one single. However, the Tottenham-based poet’s recent work has been some of his most intriguing. His 2021 project Little Big Man partnered with homelessness charity Shelter and showed Wretch at his introspective best. His new album, Home?, continues this artistic evolution and insightful social commentary.
The record features some of the biggest names in the grime scene with Ghetts, Kano and Little Simz turning in exceptional verses. This is a very different Wretch from the one which first hit the public consciousness. He’s come a long way from those early pop bangers and this album is well worth your time.
