Tinie Tempah may not be a household name here in the States just yet, but give him time. The London rapper is the odds-on favorite to sweep the top categories at tomorrow’s BRIT Awards, where he’s nominated for Best Single, Best Breakthrough Act, Best Male Solo Artist, and Album of the Year.
TT, whose chart-topping album, Disco-Overy, will hit this side of the pond on May 3, made his Stateside TV debut on the February 2 broadcast of Jimmy Kimmel Live. In the meantime, his fame only continues to grow in Britain, and with the awards show coming up, The Observer commissioned Nadav Kander to photograph the 22-year-old rapper for this past Sunday’s magazine. Here’s the image they used on the cover:
