After bringing a new definition to the word “H.A.M.” recently by releasing an absolute hoard of new tunes online, the Godfather of Grime Wiley presents his brand new mixtape, It’s All Fun and Games ‘Til (Vol. 1). Good news if you missed any of his “Step” freestyles (I wouldn’t blame you), all ten land on [...]

His double-digit “Step” freestyles may have come to an end, but Wiley doesn’t see any reason to pull the plug on the mass of free music. For his latest freebie, Eskiboy delivers “Broken Thoughts”, a fitting melancholy number driven by Kid D‘s pouring production. Much like he’s proved throughout his career, Wiley can soundtrack deep [...]

Wiley‘s flooding-of-our-timelines-with-good-music comes to an end today as he hits the climax with “Step 10″ freestyle, brought to us by Dullah Beats. Don’t let the intro sample (which I care not to even find out what it is) fool you, Eskiboy delivers yet another huge tune to cap things off. I’d say he’s just gone [...]

As expected, we have yet another “Step” freestyle from the Godfather of Grime, Wiley. Entering his ninth installment in this series of freebies, Eskiboy borrows West Londoner Zdot‘s “Six Figure” instrumental for another beastly banger. Considering Wiley created and championed the “Eski” sound early on his career, he’s proved he can handle hip-hop beats just [...]

This time, production from Danny Yen serves as the dynamic [...]

At this point, it’s more than likely that Wiley‘s upcoming mixtape, It’s All Fun and Games ‘Til (Vol. 1), will consist entirely of “Step” freestyles. For the sixth and seventh installments, Eskiboy enlists production from Thomas Mellor and Darq E Freaker (who was recently f*cking sh*t up with Danny Brown), respectively. Wiley’s batting seven-for-seven with [...]
It’s another day, another “Step” freestyle from Wiley. Enlisting heavily leaning hip-hop production from Kid D, the Godfather of Grime maintains that unadulterated lyrical ferocity from his recent previous releases, aiming a tonne of threats – both serious (“Mic man, I will murk you in any hype man/Aim for the middle, and the left and [...]

Wiley brings two new freebies to the forefront of the blogosphere today to put himself at four new tracks in as many days as he gears up for the release of his next mixtape, It’s All Fun and Games ‘Til (Vol. 1). Enlisting yet more not-so-modest production, Eskiboy sends more of those assured f*ck-you-and-your-music bars [...]

Wiley‘s in one of those “I’ma release a shitload of music for the fun of it” moods again. It’s doubtful that he’ll hit the high quantity he reached two years ago, but today’s offering puts Eskiboy at a two-hot-track-every-two-day average. “2 Step Freestyle” follows on from the Preditah-borrowing “Step 1 Freestyle” yesterday (what are the [...]

Continuing his recent flow of new music, the Godfather of Grime Wiley employs the increasingly popular Birmingham-based producer Preditah and his “Circles” instrumental to power his latest output, “Step 1 Freestyle”, which provides the first taste of his forthcoming mixtape, It’s All Fun and Games ‘Til (Vol. 1). Much like his 100% Publishing cut “Numbers [...]
