With UK grime in its purest form enjoying more mainstream acclaim than ever, it's only right The Godfather returns to grab some limelight. The focus, energy, and crisp, production of single “Speakerbox” are apparent throughout, and Wiley's lyrics are typically brimful of themes and thoughts. There's bravado (“Back With a Banger”), generosity (“Name Brand”), nostalgia (“Joe Bloggs”), and pin-sharp humour (just about everything). On solitary downtempo moment “U Were Always, Pt. 2”, there’s even romantic drama in a chicken restaurant.

The new sound of the British inner city sits somewhere between ragga, U.S. rap, U.K. garage, and jungle. Dizzee Rascal was the first artist to bring this up from the underground, but he's not the last. Wiley, one of the most respected producers in his field, has been involved in the underground scene for years. Once part of the Pay As U Go cartel in the late 90's, he went on to form the Roll Deep Crew (once boasting Dizzee Rascal as a member). In the past two years alone, he's released 24 singles and countless collaborations and remixes. He's also behind the hugely popular "Eskimo Dance" raves, regularly attended by thousands in London. Parental advisory.

RWD Magazine - Album of the Month `The Godfather of Grime is back and he's definitely not playing. One of the UK 's most influential artists." NME `If any one man could be said to have invented grime, it's Wiley, east London producer/ MC who mentored Dizzee and turned down a deal from Mike Skinner just, y'know, because."
