Teen talent

BEATS:

RAPPER Chipmunk got his name from friends teasing him about his wonky teeth.

The London-born 19-year-old - also know as Jahmaal Fyffe — shot to fame last year with hits such as “Diamond Rings”, “Oopsy Daisy” and “Look For Me”.

The talented teen won the Best UK Newcomer category at the 2009 MOBO Awards 2008 and also beat Jay Z, Kanye West and Eminem to win the Best Hip Hop Act the year after.

You can catch him live at the Manchester Academy on Monday.
