What Would We Do (Wearing My Rolex)

Wiley

Asylum

WE SAY

Wiley comes out of a short-lived, self-imposed retirement with a cracking single, an electro/grime clash that should be his biggest hit to-date. Sampling DSK's east coast garage track What Would We Do along with that great bassline, the radio support has been strong - it was added to Radio 1 where it's Jo Whiley's Record Of The Week. Fresh from his performance at 1Xtra Live event last weekend, it's also A-listed at 1Xtra. A likely commercial crossover too, it's B listed at Kiss and Choice FM, added to the Galaxy playlist - all eight weeks upfront. This is the most tagged track on Shazam too. A fourth Wiley album 'Race Against Time' is expected in the summer. JF
