Wiley from Atlanta
Wiley from Atlanta is an independent rapper, singer and songwriter based in Georgia. Coming from Atlanta's East Side, known for acts like 6Lack, Future, and Gucci Mane, Wiley's distinctive delivery and attention to lyricism represent a new style from the city best known for trap and r&b. Perhaps best personified by his debut album "Blue Don't Make Me Cry", Wiley's music blends rock, soul, r&b, folk and hip-hop to defy genre and create a lane that is all his own. Inspired by an eclectic range of artists from OutKast and Brittany Howard to Young Thug and Radiohead, Wiley is a rapper at heart with the voice of a soul singer.
