Wiley - Wearing My Rolex
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.

Jun: ilikemusic because... music can convey a mood, enhance a mood or change a mood. Music can be used to inspire and the artform is simple yet complicated. It's fun to listen to and even more fun to create and perform. It speaks when just a simple word can't. It's a blessing!!

Master Gee: ilikemusic because... It gives me an opportunity to truly express myself, unlike what happens in an everyday living situation where there are restrictions on you and limitations on you and demands on you and bills to pay, through music I can truly be comfortable with who I am, and do what I really want to do and say what I really want to say.
Scott, Thin Lizzy: ilikemusic because... It lets my adrenalin start pumping, it gets aggression out, and sometimes I can actually get emotional with it. There are many reasons why I like music.
