Known for his wild wordplay and
legendary live performances, New York
emcee Wiki has been making waves since
his teens. In 2011, he released his
Wiki93 EP online and quickly earned praise
from the New York Times, XXL and
The Source — with Complex championing
him as one of the “25 Best Rappers 25
And Under” then listing him as one of
“10 New NY Rappers To Watch Out For”.
However, it wasn’t just critics that took
notice — his Wikispeaks video racked up
almost 200,000 views on YouTube before
he even had a record deal! Bonkers!
The baby-faced, pint-sized emcee didn’t
rest on his laurels though. He took his
jams on the road, and performed at Fun
Fun Fun Fest in L.A., SXSW in Austin
and the Pitchfork Music Festival in Paris
where he shared the stage with Robyn
and Jessie Ware. Throughout it all he did
a live session on BBC Radio 1, collaborated with ace photographer Ari Marcopoulos, and was profiled in a killer video
vignette on Jay-Z’s Life+Time
