| Song |
"On A Level" is a single from English grime artist Wiley, produced by longtime collaborator Skepta. It is the first official single released from Wiley's tenth studio album Snakes & Ladders.
The song intentionally recalls the eskibeat style of the material on Wiley's early white label releases and debut album Treddin' on Thin Ice,[1] it was made after Skepta suggested Wiley return to his "original element".[2]
Music video
The music video was directed by Skepta and premiered on the website of Complex on 24 September 2014.[3] The video was set in an English country mansion and begins with a clip of eskibeat instrumental The Morgue which was released by Wiley on white label in 2005.[4] It features cameos from various prominent UK MCs including Boy Better Know, Giggs, Stormzy and Novelist all dressed in black.[5]
