Catalog #:	GANG 001EP

"Grime vinyl pressure! The eski man, mister Wiley Kat lands this white label detonation from his second phase album. Originally out of the same east London crew, Roll Deep, the undisputed godfathers of the grime scene, which produced Dizzee Rascal, the two have been embroiled in 'beef' for what seems like an age. Wiley is on killer good form for the vocal, the beats are heavyweight enough to carry the instrumental -- pure heat -- caned on all the pirates, Radio 1, Kiss, Rinse etc this has undoubtedly been one of the most high profile grime whites out there this summer and certainly one of the biggest records ever in the genre. We're delighted to at last have a limited number to go around."

Title:	100% Publishing
Label:	BIG DADA (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	BD 180CD

"Wiley is the Lord Byron of rap. It's so obvious I'm not even going to explain it. Arguably one of the most important British musicians of the last ten years or more, this mass of every contradiction the human race can muster is also a stone-cold genius, albeit one who occasionally seems a trifle unhinged. Now the latest switchback move in a career defined by switchback moves is his return to Big Dada with his latest and arguably finest album. 100% Publishing, one hundred per cent written, produced, vocalled and recorded by Richard Cowie, the shadowy figure behind the Wiley persona." Enhanced CD includes instrumental and acappella versions in mp3 format.

Title:	Evolve Or Be Extinct
Label:	BIG DADA (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	BD 187CD

"What is the true mark of the wayward genius of Wiley? Is it that, less than six months after the release of his last full album, 100% Publishing, he has another record all set for release? Is it that he has insisted that it is released on his birthday, Thursday January 19th 2012? Or that he initially refused to release a single from it? That he has made so much music that his fans will receive two CDs, the second with at least eight further tracks on it? Or even that one track on the album has no music ('Customs')? No, it's not any of these. It's that we can say, without fear of contradiction (or without much fear), that Evolve Or Be Extinct is the best album (so far!) of this unique artist's career. Dark, funny, wild and exhilarating, this is a record which shows just what Wiley is capable of when he forgets the minutiae of recording contracts and concentrates on the many weird and wonderful facets of his life."
