Wiley's been accustomed to switching up the game, right back to the days when he urged the garage establishment to 'go that way' and lead a new generation into his Eskimo dance raves, giving birth to grime.
Now he's picked a ghetto-house production with chainsaw bass by Brooklyn producer Chew Fu to bring a new sound forward again.
The lyrics name check Island Records label mate Tinchy Stryder ('went No.1 with No.1, yeah that's my brother'), the grime crew he founded Roll Deep (I was in the charts with 'Avenue' and 'Shake A Leg') as well as British pop institution Take That ('I was in a Bedford nightclub…saw a member of the group Take That').
Wiley is one of the original catalysts for bringing English rappers and MCs into the mainstream - whether that is Chipmunk starting as a member of his Eskibeat Recordings or Tinchy Stryder who he mentored when he started MCing at 14. Even now Wiley is supporting the next generation 'about to blow' away from the eyes of the mainstream (look out for new faces featuring on his album out in 2010).
Zane Lowe has made Take That his Hottest Record In The World. Fearne Cotton is crowning it her Record Of The Week. Other DJs to support include Jo Whiley and MistaJam.
Meanwhile Wiley still turns up at Rinse FM for surprise appearances and fans of avant-garde music continue to analyse the icy structure of his productions. He's a giant in grime, a one-off and anyone that thinks he can't do it anymore can take that.
