Album Notes & Community Reviews

A foundational pillar in the development of grime music, Wiley's major-label debut bridges the gap between raw, underground UK garage instrumentals and fiercely boastful hip-hop lyricism. Its futuristic, minimalist production template, dubbed 'Eskibeat', massively influenced the trajectory of British urban music.
