Wiley - Wearing My Rolex

Wiley 2008 Rapper, producer, MC Legend - Wiley returns from self-imposed retirement, with a brand new single, 'Wearing My Rolex'.

Released on April 21st 2008 (digital) and May 5th 2008 (physical) through the legendary Asylum label, a division of Atlantic Records, this fantastic slice of 'electro-grime' or 'hip-house' spearheads the newest subgenre to hit the mainstream. Download single here.

Causing an absolute storm in the UK, the infectious and unstoppable beats are currently sweeping the nation's clubs from Shoreditch to Scotland.

Produced by one-to-watch, Bless Beats, 'Wearing My Rolex' is set to an electro/ funky-house beat that samples DSK's east coast garage classic 'What Would We Do'.

Since getting its very first radio play, it has gone on to enjoy massive support from the likes of Jo Whiley, Pete Tong, Annie Mac and Zane Lowe on Radio 1 an incredible 8 weeks upfront and is on the station's B-list. It is also A-listed at Radio 1Xtra, B listed at Kiss and Choice FM, added to the Galaxy playlist and is the most tagged on Shazam - debuting at number 1 in the accompanying chart a full two months pre-release.

From his early jungle days to date, it is simply impossible to overstate the importance that Wiley has had on UK urban music. From UKG's 'Nicole's Groove' to being a member of Pay As You Go, Boy Better Know and, of course, Roll Deep, this enigmatic MC and prolific producer has more than earned the title of Godfather of Grime.

Whether creating genre-defining classics like the seminal 'Ice Cream' and 'Eskimo', putting on his own Eskimo Dances, bringing through artists like Dizzee Rascal, Tinchy Stryder and JME, or producing Jammer's infamous 'Murkle Man', he has driven, mentored and moulded the scene more than any artist before, during or after. 'Champagne Dance', 'Wot Do U Call It', 'Gangsterz', 'Shake A Leg', 'When I'm 'Ere' '50/50', 'Pick Urself Up', 'Avalanche' and 'Pies', are just some of the moments he has either created or been an integral part of.
