for fans of… Earl Sweatshirt, The Alchemist, Ratking
Wiki has been a fixture of New York City hip-hop since he founded the boundary-defying group Ratking at just 17 years old, whose aggressive style represented a new generation of city kids and artists hungry for innovation and raw energy.
In the years since he went solo, Wiki’s storytelling as the city’s young OG has never been more vivid, solidifying his role in carrying the torch for NYC’s master MCs.
The cult rapper’s sharp tongue and self-reflection put him in good company among peers like Earl Sweatshirt and Navy Blue, who feature on Wiki’s latest album Half God. The album sees a wise and angry Wiki revealing what it’s like to come of age in the city, painting lyrical pictures of the way it shapes, hardens and prematurely ages you.
The album received rave reviews, with Pitchfork declaring “the New York rappers’ latest is one of his greatest.”
Following a hot sellout show at Sneaky Pete’s and a string of European dates with Slowthai, Wiki returns to Edinburgh in June.
