I'm about to go hear Wiley play in Tokyo (!!!) And am sitting listening to "Treading on thin ice" for the first time in ages. Occurs to me that this record is much fresher, and bearing up much better these days than "Showtime" which sounds a bit tired and thin. Wiley's perspective is richer than Dizzee's and obviously the beats are much better.
Anyway I think it's interesting to consider these records a year on because the discourse around grime is always so immediate - how do feel they've fared?
