First view: Wiley – Numbers in Action
Grime's most prolific rapper returns with a call-to-arms video
It's near impossible to keep up with Wiley's career, despite the fact he's spent most of the year talking to fans on ustream. One minute he's joining forces with Mark Ronson, the next he's giving away everything he's recorded, then he's doing the Electric Boogaloo. Being Wiley must be exhausting.
And yet creative fatigue is clearly way off, if his latest single Numbers in Action is anything to go by. Minimalist beats bolster his call to other rappers: "I'm still a fan of Michael Jackson, now I wanna see numbers in action." After the Wearing My Rolex style choruses that have defined his recent hits, it's great to hear Wiley back in full flow.

Good song; quality video. Any news on a new album or anything?

From what I know he's got a new album coming on the 27th June called 100% Publishing, then he's apparently got another album lined up for 2012
