• The MC’s first full-length project after years of releasing tracks and performing at raves and on pirate radio, Treddin’ on Thin Ice is undoubtedly a foundational part of grime’s history.
• April marks 20 years since the release of Treddin, now considered a seminal grime album.
• Alongside Dizzee Rascal’s Boy In Da Corner (2003), Treddin’ On thin Ice is considered to represent a blueprint for one of Britain’s most exciting music cultures.

It’s not garage

• Eskibeat – Wiley’s own term for his early sound – was a “defiantly low-rent mass of jabbing rhythms, crude samples and rumbling bass frequencies” that established a powerful aesthetic model for future artists.
• Treddin’ marked grime’s separation from garage and other prevailing musical trends.
• Wiley establishes a musical meta-commentary on the evolution of grime from garage in the album’s first single Wot Do U Call It?

Grime: from infancy to adolescence

• Wiley is credited with not only fuelling grime’s emergence from the British underground’s post-garage music scene but also for carrying the genre from its infancy through to adolescence.
• He mentored pioneers Kano and Dizzee Rascal, as well as grime’s second-wave heroes Skepta and Stormzy.
• He also did much to pioneer grime’s early methods of production, distribution, promotion and consumption.
• Wiley, however, has fallen from grace following a torrent of antisemitic remarks he made on X in 2020.
