A prince of the New York rap undergound, Wiki is a half-Irish, half-Puerto Rican MC born and raised in Manhattan who embodies the eclectic spirit of his hometown, from Basquiat’s downtown to Dipset’s Harlem. His first group, Ratking, refreshed the sound of New York’s underground with next-level lyrical heat wrapped in Sporting Life’s abrasive psychedelic production, and he’s been dropping jaws with tongue-twisting verses ever since. In an era when lyrical proficiency is no longer a prerequisite to becoming a rapper, Wiki is an MC whose lyrical gifts have become impossible to ignore. In his Fireside Chat, he takes us through the music that moved him through the birth of his career, going solo and the various collaborative projects he’s got in the works.
