Snapshot: Wiley unveils ‘The Ascent’ album artwork x tracklist

The Godfather of Grime aka Wiley is set to add to his ever growing legacy with the release of his eight album this Spring titled The Ascent.

The Bow E3 legend has unveiled the album’s artwork as well as the tracklisting which promises many big name collaborations from the UK and US. Kano, Boy Better Know‘s Skepta and JME have been drafted in and Chip, who Wiley teamed with on his new single “Reload It”.
