News: Wiley Retires! (and other stories)



So, Wiley announces his retirement. Sounds pretty shocking doesn't it? In fact it sounds like the sort of rumour made up by hyped up kids on an internet forum, but has suprisingly been reported straight from the mans mouth by Hattie Collins of RWD Magazine. Reading the actual interview it becomes clear that Wiley will simply be taking a back seat for a while, producing rather than MC-ing. Seems like a fair choice. It also leaves him open for a Jigga Man type come back LP in a few years...

If you've ever missed out on classic mixtapes then I feel it's my duty to send you over to a new blog called Old Grime Mixtapes. It does exactly what it says on the tin, so go there and download old mixtapes to your heart's content.

I'm guessing Logan's show should be pretty interesting tonight given the breaking Wiley retirement news. He's now got his own archive of past shows, which updates a week behind the live ones. Hop over there for all your download needs.

If you've got any news, listings, records etc, email us.
