What Reviewers Are Saying
"Perhaps the most influential musician working in Britain today." * Guardian * "The greatest UK MC of all time." * Noisey * "The grime legend returns, in thrilling fashion, to reclaim the genre he invented." * NME * "From the mid-90s, Wiley has been instrumental in creating a new sonic aesthetic. In the process he has given black Britain a unique voice, forging a genre that both contains black British musical history, and pushes it forward. It has enabled the success of artists from Dizzee Rascal to Stormzy to Skepta, whose cultural dominance have given shape to the wider identity of twenty-first century British youth culture." * BBC *
