    I know there's a free tracks thread but I thought this merits it's own discussion.

    Grime originator Wiley last night publicly announced on his twitter that he was firing his current manager. It was mostly due to the fact that grime has seen a resurgence this year and yet he's still struggling to get serious airplay in the way that Tinnie Tempah does. Wiley's solution? Flood the market. He's posted 11 zip folders of fully produced unreleased tracks and freestyles on his twitter for free download.
    Here's the Guardian article on the whole thing

    I've only downloaded zip number 8 but it itself is 18 solid tracks and based on it alone I recommend downloading at least a portion of the collection. So feel free to talk about Wiley's move, shifting records, or just general grime chat here, ya get me?

    I love Wiley, absolute hero, himself and Marcus Nasty are reason enough to have a Twitter account.

    Visionary producer, master MC, genius. He'll be studied like Shakespeare in years to come, mark my words.

    It's a lucky dip because all the zips are a mix of rough cuts and polished tracks, so just pick a zip at random and download, i guarantee there'll be some gold on it
