Tinchy Styder 'will storm the States'

Tinchy Stryder has reportedly been attracting widespread interest in the United States.

The East London rapper, who released new album Catch 22 last month, has been invited to support Lil Wayne when he tours the country, according to reports.

"Tinchy is being taken very seriously over there, which is rare for a Brit rapper," a source told The Sun.

"A lot of important people in the hip-hop world think he's the best thing to come out of the UK in a long time."

Stryder has enjoyed three Top 5 singles so far this year, including chart-toppers 'Number One' and 'Never Leave You'. He releases new single 'You're Not Alone' on October 24.
