Wiley
Wiley, also known as Eskiboy (real name Richard Kylea Cowie, born 19 January 1979) is a Grime MC and producer from Bow E3, East London. Wiley has created his own musical genre, which he calls Eski, and which is largely associated with the Grime genre. Eskimo, from which the genre takes its name, is probably the best known Eski track. Originally performing under the title Wiley Kat (adopted from the Thundercats cartoon), he has now shortened his stage to Wiley and is rarely referred to as Wiley Kat. Wiley is known as 'the godfather of grime', since it is widely regarded he is a pioneering influence in the grime scene, and he is also notable for his exceptional work-rate, having five projects lined up for 2008 alone. Wiley has been one of the biggest artists in the history of the genre, releasing three albums and having been signed to XL Recordings and now to Big Dada Recordings, on which he has recently released his third album Playtime Is Over. Wiley founded Eskibeat Recordings in 2007. This is not a crew but is a record label which consists of MC's such as Chipmunk, Little Dee and ice kid. In 2008, Wiley found mainstream success with his hit single 'Wearing My Rolex'. Wiley first started producing in 1996, working in various genres, notable Jungle and Garage. Wiley first became well known in the East London underground garage scene during the late 1990s, when he was a member of the Pay As You Go Cartel, who had some limited UK chart success. He also co-produced Nicole's G...
