The Godfather of Grime to perform at Motion ahead of March 2018 album release.

 

Ahead of the impending release of new album Godfather II, Wiley is due to perform at Bristol's Motion on Friday 23rd February as part of an eight-date UK tour. The Godfather of Grime quashed rumours he was hanging up the mic late last year, with the announcement of the new album back in November. A limited number of tickets for the show at Motion are still available - get yours now to avoid disappointment.

 

Born Richard Cowie, Wiley is often credited with creating the Grime genre and giving birth to a whole new movement of Lodnon-based artists gaining notoriety for illustrating their own world in their music. He formed his own crew, Roll Deep, in the early 2000's, focusing on observational lyricism on life in London, delivered in an English accent at a time when so many of his contemporaries were trying to sound American.
