TUESDAY: Music Video of the Week
So you’re a musician and you want to get featured on Tuesday Music Video of the Week. What do you do?
If you have people wearing oversized furry masks in your video, you greatly increase your chances.
East London Grime rapper Richard Kylea Cowie, aka Wiley, put together this ultra-catchy song, Wearing My Rolex. Wiley is best known for helping to pioneer the British hip-hop sound Grime that emerged out of the late 1990s rave scene. Grime is a fast-flow of rap with a London beat – think of it having been made for a boxing gym with lots of punching and not much room to move. Wiley refers to his music as “eskibeat” but Wearing My Rolex, because of the instrumentation, isn’t considered true Grime music. So it’s Grime, but it’s not, got it?
Anyway, furry masks is all you really need to know.
We dedicate this one out to Ben and wish him best of luck with his new venture.
