• Buy it at Amazon.com

2009 album from the Ghanaian born and East London based Grime/Hip Hop star. Catch 22' is a milestone in Tinchy Stryder's ascending career. A move on from the sound of 2007's Star In The Hood, Catch 22 sees Tinchy working with a diverse range of producers (from. Fraser T Smith to Frank Musik) and guest vocalists (from Taio Cruz to Amelle) to create a signature sound that is not only fresh and current, but is also uniquely his. Lyrically the album focuses on Tinchy's day-to-day tales from his hood in bow, and his ever changing life as a rising star in the music industry. Spanning the shiny and radio friendly `Number 1' and `Never Leave Me' through to the gritty and bassline heavy, `Stryderman' and `Spotlight', Catch 22 seamlessly balances universal appeal with street credibility.
