Huge British rapper making comeback as he’s working on dance music with DJ Don Diablo
AFTER fronting C4 motor series Bangers: Mad For Cars last year, Tinie Tempah is returning to his original form of bangers – music.
I can reveal the Pass Out hitmaker is going back to his roots to work on a new dance record, enlisting the help of Dutch DJ Don Diablo.
The rapper has been holed up in a North London studio crafting his sound.
An insider tells me: “Tinie wants a huge comeback and is looking to recreate some of the club anthems he made earlier in his career.
“He has enjoyed spending time on other projects but feels ready for a comeback and is lining up some festivals.”
Motor lover Tinie has racked up a stunning car collection, including a £180,000 Lamborghini supercar.
He seems to have a taste for high-end roadsters and has even got his hands on an extremely desirable classic.
The artist famously used a suped-up Mercedes GL SUV to participate in the 2014 edition of the Gumball 3000 Rally, a £40 million event which sees stars complete a 3,000-mile road trip in their own supercars.
Other participants that year included Jonathan Ross in his Lamborghini Gallardo and David Hasselhoff in a Nissan GT-R.
The current version is priced at around £76,000, while models from over a decade ago still sell for over £30,000.
The 549 V8 would have been more than enough to power the rapper along the highway, with a top speed of 155mph.
He also owned an SLS AMG, a sportier model worth in excess of £200,000.
Tinie’s fame grew tremendously in 2010 when released his debut single ‘Pass Out’, which entered the UK Singles Chart at number one, and sold over 92,000 copies in its first week.
