Trinidad-born, Brooklyn-based Theophilus London is one of the new breeds of rapper, a series of hyped up mixtapes followed by a well-received EP have earned him widespread buzz and a spot on the Barclaycard Wireless Festival bill.  Rising star Angel whose recently released EP features Wretch 32 is also confirmed to hit the Barclaycard Wireless Festival stage on Sunday 8 July.
