Grime meets funky house

Big new tune by Wiley.
Not been feeling his work for a while now.
Playtime is over, was a major let down, any album with Jookie Mundo on there is doomed to be shit.
Anyway it seems hes back to his best. Two mixtapes out next month. A new Album out in the summer. And what i believe to be a single that might actually get into the elysium of the music world, the top ten singles chart.
Its a disgustingly sick funky house tune produced by Bless Beatz called 'What would we do'.
Im not a massive fan of funky house, but when i heard this on radio i was skankin it out.
If you aint heard it. Well is on 1xtra like every other 5 songs so u cant really miss it.
I would put the rip up on here, but im not a ripper/bootlegger, so that game aint me.
But if this marketed properly, and the smoking of hard food doesnt make wiley lazy i can see this being a breakthrough for Wiley in the music business. Which should really of happened when Eskimo came out, what 5 years ago.

Setting the scene

"Shes that indie sindy"


This is going to sound like some long winded rant on the ills of the social framework of todays youth, so please bear with me.


Can i point people out to a new trend that im sure alot of you have witnessed yourselves.


Its the trend of the 'Scene kid'.


Most people to the untrained eye would see these kids as watered down emo's. But in reality this is not the case.


Scene kids it seems, like emo's come from a fairly priviledged background, lets say for arguements sake, Tunbridge Wells (dont forgot the 'Royal' at the start) in Kent or Reigate in Surrey. These areas are known for its pompousity and conservative voters.


Heres is how to spot a scene kiddy.


Skinny Jeans-

Tight colourful t-shirt-

New Era hat-

Nike Airforce 1's

Wear apparel of sport brands (usually Nike or Adidas Originals) and various other famous brands (Vans checkered shoes, or band t-shirts).


Scene kids are happy fellows unlike Emos, of whom most scene kids detest. But scene kids have some emo traits, like dyed hair (not usually black but can be), skinny jeans, straightened hair, piercings.


Also they are big followers of Myspace.....or Mycrack as they like to call it.

Here is a great chance to meet other scene kids and talk about 'Bring me the horizon' and the new 'nang' JME cd, "cos hes just too grimmy skeen"


Scene kids use words and phrases that kids in Peckham and Bow used about 4 years ago. For example:

'llow

Seen

boyed

peng

gash

wasteman


The use of these words and phrases make these scene kids look 'street' and above the level of 'chavs'. Even though in most cases scene kids and 'chavs' are pretty much the same, in terms of the music they listen to, the clothes they wear, the way they talk and the amount of cider drunk and british grown low grade hash smoked.
Its not new nor cool nor original. Scene kids claim to be individuals, but infact all look the same, and speak like a yout from the gully, especially when on a crowded train with a Skepta tune blaring out of there £200 mobile phones, which mummy and daddy pay the contract for.
Its good im not one:]
