Wiki - Seedy Motherfucker

I like the 1 train, bagel with lox, crushin' the mic," spits Wiki on the opener to No Mountains In Manhattan. Held in esteem as NYC's next up since Ratking's breakout,Wiki's XL debut makes good on that promise.


The album is a journey through the city—highs, lows, beautiful, ugly—through the eyes of a classically influenced wordsmith with undeniable energy, whose idea of a good day includes shooting the shit with locals on the way to the bodega to cop a bacon, egg and cheeses and a 40 oz.

More than just New York City, the album tells us a lot about Wiki himself, who turns out to be equally flawed but fascinating. There are no fu-Cking mountains in Manhattan, but there's Wiki and that's good enough
