Not a single review for the Godfather of Grime???? From the days of Pay As U Go crew making dubplates, starting Roll Deep and creating a whole new sound called 'Eskibeat' with your Eskiflow which helped form grime as we know it...and lastly representing London :) You are still pushing out sick demanded beats 20 years later, while your 20 year old tracks still hold thier freshness (dont believe me the wantlist numbers outweigh the owners on a lot of your vinyls). You could write a documentry on what you have achieved, lost and also on who you pissed off with your mad antics lool. Wiley would not be Wiley with out his life storys & social media. I been buying your records from early days and massed a decent collection but hard to keep up (money from rocketing prices lol) The way you push out song after song to the longevity of your musical career & your stolen MBE story loool u should be in the rock and roll hall of fame for your services to the UK underground music scene which is now loved worldwide....or just for the silly things u do on social media :D Dunno if its the drugs but Wiley does have phazes of doing odd stuff like pushing out great albums and single songs just on MP3??? not even FLAC in 2021 lol and no vinyl??? No one can work out this guys mind...Thats why a genius in any field is usually ''different'' from the general public in thier personia.
