Wiley

What is there left to say about Wiley? Innovator. Originator. Undoubted musical genius. All descriptions that have been attributed to him over the years which in my opinion can not be argued with, and its hard to imagine the likes of Chipmunk, Tinchie Stryder and Tine Tempah dominating the pop charts like they do nowadays without the influence of Wiley.

Its also become plainly apparent over the years, that he is a bit of a fucking nutter as well, and yesterday saw Wiley sack his manager and ditch his label through the medium of Twitter, which one might say isn't that surprising considering his past form.

But as always with Wiley, that wasn't to be the only drama, as he then proceeded to give away over 180 tunes he has been working on over the past year. Yes thats right, ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY FREE WILEY TUNES. A hell of a lot of tunes to give away, especially considering the quality level.

I have trawled through the first half of the folders now and to be honest a lot of it I am not really feeling, but there are flashes of genius throughout, especially in a couple of the real Grime bits, and there is an absolute bona fida Top 20/10 smash in there in the form of 'Loose Your', a collaboration with Mz Bratt which I suspect would have been absolutely massive. You can find this in Zip Folder 4, a highlight of what I have heard so far and a pointer of just how good Wiley can be.
