Tinie Tempah’s new record is his ‘best yet’

Tinie Tempah’s producer Nana Rogues says his forthcoming record is his "best" yet.
The ‘Pass Out’ hitmaker is gearing up to release the follow-up to 2013’s ‘Demonstration’ on September 16 and Nana – who has several credits throughout Tinie’s back catalogue – says the 27-year-old rapper will wow with his "cinematic" record.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, Nana – who has also worked with Stormzy and Section Boyz – said: "Expect his best album yet. You can hear that he is in gear six and he’s found his spot now.The music is very cinematic."
Nana also said he thinks Tinie is keen to move to America after a recent trip to Los Angeles.
Asked if he’s planning to go Stateside, he said: "Yeah. We went to Los Angeles recently and he’s really loving it. So hopefully yeah."
The ‘Girls Like’ hitmaker has been enticed by the American way of life after spending a weekend in Las Vegas with Calvin Harris.
Tinie was surprised but intrigued to hear from the 32-year-old star that he loves everything about his life in Los Angeles and has no plans to return to his native Scotland.
Tinie previously said: "What I wanted to know was how different life in America was – he just said he’d never go back to England.
"It was quite surreal hearing him say that as obviously he must be really happy to say that and must be doing really well."
Tinie found the DJ’s outlook inspiring, and despite becoming a major star in the UK he has plans to crack the charts Stateside.
He added: "It’s inspiring because I’ve done really well in the UK, but it elevates your sights and makes you want to do more."
Tine’s new LP is called ‘Youth’.
