Eskiboy: Wiley

Wiley is one of the most innovative and influential musicians of today. Over the course of a twenty-year career, he has released ten top-twenty records, sold over 4 million singles and helped to launch the careers of a new generation of artists. He is the creator of a movement that was born in east London in the early 2000s, and is now taking over the world. Eskiboy will be an account of Wiley's life and music - from white-label releases and illegal broadcasting to lifetime achievement awards and beyond. Structured in 96 short chapters, it will cover his influences, his friendships and rivalries, and the triumphs and tragedies of a life in music, as well as explore the history and future of Grime and the `Eskimo Sound'. Featuring lyrics, notes and never-before-seen photographs, it will celebrate a singular musical icon, and the world he has created.
