[Ransom]

Say's it on he myspace not sure weather to believe...never really understand Wiley messages he always left on he myspace.

[Selenki jj]

yhyh its fully official

ALOTS GOIN ON !!!!

[Demos]

what so he's left big dada??
i'd laugh if it was just "wearing my rolex" that got signed and he got the wrong idea and thought he got signed.....lool

nah big up for him if he did get signed

[Any Guy]

dunno but wiley is pretty big in the states, i even have a interview from him that was in some usa rwd style magazine.
also his playtime is over album was released over there in the states as well.

[Ransom]

I swear he deal on Big Dada was only for one album and after a choice to stay one for a second album.

[Demos]

what do u mean by big??? no one from this scene is big or even known in the states apart from dizzee

[Royal-T]

i dnt think the states would liike 'wearin my rolex' tho

[Any Guy]

big like, he got alot of promotion from big dada, they was promoting him in the states alot also, even his album was on sale the same day as in the uk in the dirty south!
can u believe that, they selling the uk grime artist cd in the dirty south part!
and dizzee racal last cd wasnt even released in the states yet, maby this year.
and he also got alot of exposure in magazines and promo in the states.
if u want i can scan u his interview in a magazine from the states.

['nuum general]

i reckon its probably for my rolex with the option of signing the album if the single sells well. I thought he signed in for a 2nd album with big dada though

[Aza T]

DJ Ironik also has a similar myspace name...

go for it

[Demos]

good for him, even tho i hate his music

[Danny Trejo]

Atlantic is big. Is this just for the single?

[Any Guy]

atlantic is the same label home of t.i.

[Demos]

hope they dont manipulate wiley into making another in at the deep end

[whats_the_score?]

Fair play, best of luck.

[Aza T]

Atlantic is big. Is this just for the single?

Yeah its just for Wearing My Rolex

[Demos]

Yeah its just for Wearing My Rolex
ahh i knew it

[Aza T]

DJ Ironik's deal is a bit more though

Single Release
Merchandising
Possible Album Release

[emirg]

hope they dont manipulate wiley into making another in at the deep end

I dont think you can blame wiley for in at the deep end, he wasnt really repping roll deep when they were making that, and he has said in interviews it was the other guys who wanted to go down that poppy route, I remember him saying in an interview that other members of roll deep thought grime was dead

[whats_the_score?]

Yeah its just for Wearing My Rolex

A good look still, could lead to somthing else.

[Jay05]

i remember Wiley saying they couldnt get it signed as grime. Therefor went a different route, then he heard POW and realised gime could blow.

I dont think Wiley being signed is a good for him. His attitude was bad under XL and under Big Dada at times he seemed uninterested

[The Elijah]

man keeps saying hes going 2 do his own ting... den signs another deal...

[07984]

shame its only for the single

[07984]

prob means a video tho, a DECENT video. I imagine it with plenty of scantily clad women!

[FG]

big up William

[BOSS CAT]

Late on this..
Can I plz get a link to the tune
thnx

[Royal-T]

Bless Beats Is Signed To Accordin To His Myspace Name

[RIP Jakey]

Bless Beats Is Signed To Accordin To His Myspace Name

he made the beat

[adidasgrandad]

yeah i reckon its just the song thats signed but well done to him if he got signed (again).

hopefully they dont force him to make an album like in at the deep end....although i dont think he'd have any of it if they tried that.

are they a big label?

[Danny Trejo]

very big;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_Records

[Any Guy]

some big down south rappers in the states are signed to that label.

[Hij]

Atlantic are a MASSIVE label. I write questions at work and have done so much on music artists and their labels and theres loads of artists with them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_Atlantic_Records_artists

Very big Wiley. Because when I went to the track listing on Pete Tong it said 'Big Dada'

safe for the upload

[Ransom]

Has he spread the word of grime yet

[me!!!]

All these deals but can he really produce anything that is going to become a commercial success??? I dont think so, I think labels should be looking jmes way to make them some real p.

[adidasgrandad]

he produced a few of the successful singles off in at the deep end still. He can, he already is making music which the mainstream audience is liking i.e. gangsters is being played out of every car in every place i go to so that shows that. If he can get to a label which can push his music to a Large buying audience then yeah it will be a commercial success......but..... thats beyond the point...only the song is signed

Well in that case that is a good look coz that song could become a massive success in the clubs and he might get more exposure round his name but then the question is will the listeners want him to come with more of the same and if he doesnt and comes with grime will they go off him again??? probably.

Co-signed..

If it blows Wiley will be forced to replicate the first song ,just like T2's trying to do now.

[G.K.]

I think this <b>could</b> be the biggest thing to ever happen to grime.. I can't wait but then on the other hand i've loved wiley for years and all the new fans this will generate, people who have never heard of him will annoy me..

on the list of artists on Atlantic someone pls fix it so the wiley link actually links to the wiley page..

[Hij]

Hardsy

[Danny Trejo]

If he's got a second single I'd put my money on "Ur Goin Out" you know. Just came on my mp3 player randomly, proper commercial song that.

innit. when their like 'ahh listen to this tune' and then you listen and your like 'i heard this about two years ago son'

[j-k]

Who in there right mind would sign Bless Beats and Dj Ironik lol what a bunch of stupid cunts, somebody needs to show them where the real talents at.

[Wiz]

talent and marketability are 2 different things

[frankD]

This tune will go global i reckon and take wiley top 10.

[Lemon]

lol. Hopefully he'll do alright off it still

[Stephan El Shaarawy]

i cant see it why it cant tbh...

[Jay05]

DJ ironik

Channel u man

although its good for grime to have occasional mainstream releases for new fans

[4737]

if there's a follow-up single, it won't be grime. There's no chance they'd sign a guy on the strength of an electro track, then take some grime as a followup.

It'll be re-hashes and remixing all round.

t.

[adidasgrandad]

yeah true. i cant see wiley releasing another non grime song "why should i listen or mingle...with a label that aint gonna release a grime single?".
best thing i can see coming of this, is exposure for wiley...which aint a bad thing i suppose

[frankD]

think of the remixes.

As soon as i heard that song I thought £££

[David]

Don't know if you've heard but Wiley, Ironik & Bless Beats have all been signed to Atlantic Records/Warner Bros. What do you think is gonna happen to these 3 Artists? Will it just flop like most Major labels do with Grime artists.

[Hij]

lol at your avatar.

Theres already a massive thread on this, so don't be ssurprised if your post gets merged with it

[David]

lol at your avatar.

dont expect to hear any grime still

[Hij]

We'll see.

[The Elijah]

they will prob go 4 tinie tempah nxt

[Young Sen]

This deal is over hyped!!..Atlantic have only signed the 1 tune!!..bless beats produced it and thats why he's signed...its not alot really...but cud open doors.

[Equilibrium]

[ALM]

['nuum general]

and ironik is the best emcee, hence they're both signed.

Not too suprised a bless beats track has got signed. His sounds will be more acceptable to the mainstream than someone like joker.

[Ransom]

How many times are you going to change the title

[I Can See You]

Joker got signed to Plasticians label wether thats doing anything or not but at least hes got links with the right people

[BananaMan]
