For the first time in his hyperactive career, Wiley
returns to a label and the results are dynamite.
Numbers In Action sees one of the UKÆs greatest
producers and MCs doing what he does best û hooking up
a minimalist masterpiece of a beat and then spitting
his bars over it with the insouciance and sheer top-
of-the-dome randomness and magnificence which only
this most maverick of artists can muster. Assured and
brilliant, Numbers... sounds like the Godfather of
Grime making Old Skool Hip Hop for all tomorrowÆs
parties. And itÆs funny, too.
Remix duties are led out by Sticky, who Wiley simple
describes as ôthe don.ö Sticky takes the swing of the
original rhythm and builds rising keyboard lines on
top in an oblique nod to ô99 Problems.ö Todska (Toddla
T and Roska) break everything down into their
constiuent parts and plot out the line between
Baltimore House and Sheffield Bleep. Grime up ænÆ
comer Z Dot, on the other hand, takes the tune back to
its roots in the music Wiley pioneered.
To fill out the package, watch out for the video from
Us Design Studios. Best known for their work with DELS
and the video for Tinie TempahÆs ôPass Out,ö the duo
have come up with something extra special for The
Elusive. Best known for never turning up for his video
shoots and in recent months tending to appear in
videos as nothing more than a photo, the video for
ôNumbers In Actionö features no less than thirty two
Wileys. Often six of them at once. Sure to be a huge
viral hit, choose your favourite Wiley now!
