Wiley on...

Giving up grime:
"I retired from the grime scene because I felt it was time for me to move on and leave it to the young'ns to take over and fly the flag."

Leading the scene:
"I can't because I've got my own child. Imagine – if you're a 'godfather' in grime it means you're like a dad to thousands of people and that's impossible. That's hard."

Change:
"The four people at the top – Wiley, Lethal, Kano, Dizzee – don't even work together so where's the game going? The future's not dead it just needs another new leader."

Big Ps:
"There is money but there isn't money in being an artist yet. Once I get over the wall – the business side – and turn it around for all the kids they’ll be rich."

His future:
"I'm gonna work with Ice Kid (15). I'm gonna make sure he receives the gift. I'm not just gonna leave. I'm gonna plant seeds."
