Emerging from London’s culture of pirate radio stations and garage music during the early 2000’s, Wiley followed in the footsteps of his father - a reggae musician who introduced him to hip-hop at a young age - and began producing instrumentals mixing the regional influences of dancehall and jungle music, adding verses to his tracks with a wide variety of collaborators including members of his original grime crew Roll Deep, formed in 2001. As grime became a global phenomenon during the 2010’s, Wiley remained at the forefront of the genre, pushing the movement forward through his innovative work ethic and a consistent ethos of collaboration. Today, his enduring legacy is present within the sound he helped pioneer, becoming a foundational influence on a new generation of stars across the scope of UK rap and drill music.
