On this week's edition of Guardian Music Weekly, Paul MacInnes meets Wiley, the grime innovator and the man behind current club "banger" Wearing My Rolex, Rosie Swash talks to Hatcham Social and Kitty Empire of the Observer is in to help us review the music.
Wiley has proven himself something of a multi-tasker within the grime scene he helped to create in Bow, E3. The man behind Eskibeat and Roll Deep, the man who gave Dizzee Rascal his break and who is now with the Boy Better Know crew, the 29-year-old came across as excited and just a little vulnerable as he discussed his new musical direction and his troubled relationship with his one-time protege Dizzee.
Elsewhere, Rosie Swash caught up with drummer Finn Kidd and bassist David Fineberg, two-thirds of buzz-band de jour Hatcham Social. The pair talk about their love of Postcard Records and why they're proud to be Indie.
If that's not enough, Kitty Empire, the Observer's high priestess of pop and rock, joins Paul and Rosie for a spot of single reviewing. Death Cab for Cutie's eight-minute alt-rock epic I Will Possess Your Heart divides opinion, while the international flavour of Lupe Fiasco's Paris, Tokyo fails to inspire. And listening to Make Model's new single LSB, our podsters ask: can they be really Scotland's answer to Arcade Fire?
