"'Wiley Flow'" is a song by English rapper Stormzy, released on 15 September 2019 through #Merky and Atlantic Records as the third single from his second studio album, 'Heavy Is the Head'. The song is a homage to British grime MC Wiley that interpolates flows from his tracks "Bad 'Em Up" and "Nightbus Dubplate". The cover art also mirrors his mixtape, 'Tunnel Vision Vol 1' (2007).
Critical reception
Writing for 'Fact', Henry Bruce-Jones called it a salute to the "godfather of grime" on which Stormzy "cribs flows" from Wiley and "go[es] in on" over a "murky instrumental". Karen Gwee of 'NME' labelled it "hard-hitting", while Sajae Elder of 'The Fader' described it as Stormzy "racing through a series of number and OG checks ("If you can't do 10K first week then I don't wanna hear no chat about numbers')".
Music video
The music video features Stormzy rapping the song while "surrounded by his friends in a gloomy basement".
