Manchester Academy, Wednesday, February 17

BEATS: Following on from Dizzee Rascal, Chipmunk and N-Dubz, Tinie is the latest urban act to cross over into the mainstream.

And that’s all thanks to two million MySpace users on the world wide web — not forgetting support from Radio One. The 21-year-old has already collaborated with Wiley, Tinchy Stryder, Ironik and Jay Sean.

He even stood in for Kanye West at a Radio One live session with Mr Hudson. His blog, — Milkand2sugars — has racked up more than 800,000 internet hits in just eight months with some 5,000 unique users checking out the content daily.

Tinie recently joined N-Dubz on their UK tour and is part of of The Sun’s Bizarre Tour line-up. He will also appear at Pure tonight.
