Wiley (born Richard Kylea Cowie, 19 January 1979)[1] is a British Grime MC, one of if not the founding member of the Roll Deep Crew and producer of Trinidadian descent from Bow, East London.

Wiley has pioneered the grime genre of UK garage, as both a record producer and MC, though he calls his music “eskibeat” or “eski”, short for Eskimo. Wiley is therefore also known as Eski-boy.

Currently this hot summer dance anthem is racing up the UK charts, which means that it won’t make a whimper here in the United States. File this booty shaker under “hidden gem” in your iPod and dance yourself silly to the music video below:
