The philosophers have been asking themselves the wrong question. It isn’t Does God play dice? we should be worrying about, but Does Wiley play snakes and ladders? The answer is, of course, yes. But like everything Wiley does, he doesn’t just play a bit of snakes and ladders, any more than he just raps a bit, or just has the odd minor disagreement, or posts the occasional amusing Tweet. When Wiley plays snakes and ladders he plays it on the cosmic scale, he plays it with his whole career, his whole life. On Snakes & Ladders, Wiley’s fourth album with Big Dada, Wiley reminds us exactly what the Bow-born Godfather of Grime is all about. Innovative, banging beats and fast, scattershot, brilliant rhyming, all held together by a personality that is as compelling, contradictory and charismatic... <continue reading>

Life is rarely dull with one-man drama magnet/record factory Richard 'Wiley' Cowie. The Ascent is complete confirmation of that: the idiosyncratic east London rapper leaked this album before its release after a dispute with iTunes, simultaneously labelling it his penultimate full-length missive before hanging up his mic. Despite a somewhat scattergun approach to quality control characterising a sprawling discography, among numerous nuanced pop crossovers Wiley has always maintained the gritty edge that made him a grime godfather. That contrast is referenced in equal measure early on here, with a big and bashy twosome giving way to a brace of wider appeal... <continue reading>

What is the true mark of the wayward genius of Wiley? Is it that, less than six months after the release of his last full album, 100% Publishing, he has another record all set for release? Is it that he has insisted that it is released on his birthday, Thursday January 19th 2012? Or that he initially refused to release a single from it? That he has made so much music that his fans will receive two CDs, the second with at least eight further tracks on it? Or even that one track on the album has no music (“Customs”)? No, it’s not any of these. It’s that we can say, without fear of contradiction (or without much fear), that Evolve Or Be Extinct is the best album (so far!) of this unique artist’s career. Dark, funny, wild and exhilarating, this is a record which shows just what Wiley is capable of when he forgets the minutiae of recording contracts and concentrates on the many weird and wonderful facets of his life… <continue reading>

For the past few years, Wiley's seemed pretty torn over the direction his career should take. He can't seem to decide whether he wants to be a boisterous patriot for underground UK urban music or a showbiz cat unafraid of his crossover ambitions. On Chill Out Zone's "If I Could", he raps about keeping his music raw and personal while still being able to get it into the charts. It's the kind of sentiment you'd expect from a guy who abandoned his major label for a second chance at the indie life, right after his biggest success with "Wearing My Rolex", which fell just shy of topping the UK charts in 2008. But it's also kind of hard to square this "might blow up but won't go pop" attitude with R&B cat Ed Sheeran mewling pleasantly on the song's chorus, especially when you consider the stark beats and alien basslines that first brought Wiley to fame... <continue reading>

Wiley is the Lord Byron of rap. It’s so obvious I’m not even going to explain it. Arguably one of the most important British musicians of the last ten years or more, this mass of every contradiction the human race can muster is also a stone-cold genius, albeit one who occasionally seems a trifle unhinged (don’t they all? Ask Byron…) Now the latest switchback move in a career defined by switchback moves is his return to Big Dada with his latest and arguably finest album. 100% Publishing is one hundred per cent written, produced, vocalled and recorded by Richard Cowie, the shadowy figure behind the Wiley persona. Well, 99.99% written, produced, vocalled and recorded by him. This being Wiley, having decided on the concept, he did sneak one guest vocalist onto the record (on the chorus to “Talk About Life”)... <continue reading>
