The godfather of grime Wiley is currently enjoying the most successful chapter in his highly influential career following the smash hit singles ‘Heatwave’ (#1) and ‘Can You Hear Me? (Ayayaya)’ (#3) which have sold just under 700,000 copies between them.
Wiley’s unstoppable progression now looks set to continue with the release of his new album ‘The Ascent’ (One More Tune / Warner Bros. Records) which will be released digitally on March 11th.
In addition to the two hit singles which both featured guest vocalist Ms D, ‘The Ascent’ features ten new tracks which often find Wiley collaborating with a diverse array of artists including A List, Far East Movement, Kano, Emeli Sandé, Angel and Chip.
