THERES NO STOPPING WILEY AS HE RELEASES BRAND-NEW SINGLE “SIZES”
For someone that is known as notoriously as he is, for not turning up for video shoots and press events, Wiley’s work rate has been insane as the New Year kicked off and the Veteran MC and producer isn’t stopping soon as he has released yet another single entitled “Sizes”.
Produced by Zdot and Krunchie, “Sizes” is unapologetically grimey throughout as Wiley hits us with some self-assured bars related to his lyrical skills and his influence in the scene.
The key player in U.K. Grime, he called his knotty, brittle style “eski” or “eskibeat” — producer and MC Wiley (born Richard Cowie) came up as a member of Pay as U Go Cartel, and was later a founding member of Roll Deep Crew. Much of his best and most crucial early work as a producer trickled out as white-label vinyl releases and free downloads. After Treddin’ on Thin Ice (XL, 2004) and Playtime Is Over (Big Dada, 2007), a pair of strong albums, Wiley made a controversial crossover move with his third proper album, See Clear Now (Asylum, 2008). Released on a major label, it had a considerably larger recording budget than his previous output and featured production input from Mark Ronson and Arthur Baker, among others. The bouncy single “Wearing My Rolex” reached number two on the U.K. singles chart.

The new single from Wiley comes after the Godfather of Grime dropped an elite string of singles last week; including his three diss tracks aimed at Stormzy, ‘The Game‘ freestyle, and ‘Flick in the air‘
Fans everywhere are glued to Wiley right now, and it’s no wonder as the Godfather crafted Grime and is bringing a new wave of energy with his tracks bringing him to the forefront once again!
