well whilst he was on xfactor he used to incorporate rap along with singing which people seemed to like. he didn't release much rapping on his debut album other than one song, but that's only just over one minute long (click if you wanna listen) and he did something called fire in the booth on bbc radio 1xtra which involved him rapping but that caused some controversy with use of the word 'queer' as an insult. but yeah, as i mentioned previously, he's bringing out a mixtape which will feature rapping and will be about him being famous or whatever
