It's Happening — A Trailer For Wiley's 'Eskiboy' Book Has Landed


September 19, 2017

We've been hearing about this Wiley book for a little while now, but it seems like this is really 100% happening. The book, titled Eskiboy, has been slated for a November 2 release date via publisher Penguin Books.

A trailer has now dropped for the book and, as excited as we are for the book (and we really are), a full feature-length documentary is needed. With footage of Riko Dan and Trim hearing "Morgue" for the first time, coupled with some of his most iconic quotes — all rendered with some pretty dope editing — really needs to be expanded to a full doc.

The trailer, which you can watch below, features some of grime's most iconic moments and provides just a small hint of the kind of gold that you'll find in the book. The video and blurb promise 96 chapters (perfect) of grime history, Wiley's personal story, pirate radio, and new anecdotes and photos we've never seen before. 

Obviously, they're not throwing out spoilers here, but let's be honest: you can probably bank on one or two controversial moments too. In the meantime, you can pre-order it here.
