He's one of the most successful rap artists in Britain. Stormzy says he one of the best in the world. Wretch 32, also known as Jermaine Scott, is famous for his painstakingly constructed, poetic raps and now in his new book he explains his craft. Part literary criticism, part autobiography, Rapthology charts his life growing up on a tough estate in Tottenham, through his music - which tackles everything from masculinity to relationships. He hopes the book shows young people from similar backgrounds anything is possible. Jackie Long went to meet him to talk about lyrics, loss and the power of mums.

He’s so right how can people possibly judge these kids when they have never been in this position and you are left with two choices victim or aggressor it’s just so sad really at least wretch is trying to make a difference and remember not all these kids give in to gang culture so there is hope but more needs to be done by plowing money into youth centres work experience starting at 15 give the kids a purpose a goal other than to become a drug dealer roadman ect

Boys, beyond 2 years old, need their dad. Proper dad. The law and society do not know this.

They kno this, that’s why they do a great job at removing them and weakening them, thus the imbalance. We need more masculine men who are aligned with purpose.
