You remember Wiley. The guy who was rapping about his Rolex during summer? Got to like Number 2 in the charts? Anyways, his latest single "Cash In My Pocket" is even better than "Rolex", despite the fact that Mark Ronson and Daniel Merriweather were involved with it. A funky, soulful slice of "grime" with a helping of brass (not an overload, but just enough to compliment the track) and a great hook sung by Merriweather (almost enough to forgive him fo destroying "Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before"), it deserves to be a massive dancefloor hit. Oh, and the video is a work of total genius too.

WHAT IT IS...
Hitsville U.K. is basically about music. Simple as. Albums, singles, individual tracks, gigs (when I can get to them). Failing being in a band, music journalism is what I want to do. In the words of Scroobius Pip "having a blog does not make you a music journalist", but it's better than doing nothing.
I'll try to keep it a healthy mix of well known and not so well known. I doubt there's too many people who wants to hear about that uber-obscure nine-piece math-folk band from wherever's currently hip to be from at the minute that have only released one EP, solely available in their street. Unless they're freaking awesome.
