Wiley Brings Godfather of Grime Tour Down Under

Wiley is the undisputed godfather of the British Grime movement, and now he’s heading to Australia.

Wiley’s influence on Grime music is unmistakable, from nurting younger talents like Tinchy Stryder, JME, Skepta, and Dizzee Rascal or pairing up with the likes of Lethal B, Kano, Sharky Major, and Durrty Goodz.

He’s received critical acclaim for early records like Treddin’ on Thin Ice, but with the international smash hit “Wearing My Rolex” Wiley has stepped into the mainstream. Expect more success with the release of the Daft Punk mash-up single “Summertime,” the second track from Wiley’s new album See Clear Now.

See Clear Now will hit stores on January 17, just before the start of Wiley’s Godfather of Grime 2009 Australian tour! Here are all the dates!
