About “See Clear Now”

See Clear Now is the fifth album by grime artist Wiley. The album was released on 10 November 2008. The project features collaborations with electropop group Hot Chip, and DJ/producer Mark Ronson in “Cash in My Pocket” (contributing “a few trumpets… but it’s not brass overload”). The album’s first single, “Wearing My Rolex” was succeeded by the single “Summertime” on September 22 and “Cash in My Pocket”.

“See Clear Now” Q&A

  • What has Wiley said about this album?

    Sometime after release, Wiley would publicly denounce the album and state he regretted making it (and primarily blaming his record label for its existence). Notably on the now-defunct RWD Forums. In the comments below, he essentially admits the album is shit and insults listeners hearing if people like it.

    and i still dont care it seems the country likes what i dont so im jus gonna give them what they want **** it ive had enuff of struggling to be heard im heard now in a silly way but im still heard and from here i have no more passion for the music industry i think its a good place to earn money but when you have earned it buy a house and sit down cos the industry is a par trust me any1 who doesnt like to be controlled this industry aint for you

    dont need to control that they pay me so much i dont even care now.and if it goes high in the chart it shows how low peoples level of hearing is cos they like it and to me its a shit thing to do but if the country likes it ive tricked you and ur people again to like sumthing i dont like

    tricked every1 again 1st drink dance and bubble now cash in my pocket when really i like local lad

    Wiley also told people not to buy the album, and blamed his manager John Woolf and Asylum Records label boss Ben Cook for the project, referencing his first successful foray into the mainstream “Wearing My Rolex”:

    see clear is a dreadful look i just took a listen
    this is what happens when people get involved in ur project they make it sound stupid but guess what im telling every1 dont buy this album its crap

    thanks to john woolf and ben cook you bunch of idiots you will never be able to top rolex never thats what you get for tryna out do me and bless beats the hits ly with us not you lot you shit label

  • Did Wiley ever comment on the album failing to chart well?

    Indeed he did, and like every other comment he made about the album, none of it was positive. Wiley publicly “disowned” the album, and dubbed it a “fake money album”:

    good what goes around comes around this aint my fault thats why i dont care race against time out march 2nd i aint sayin another word until then goodbye

    1 Thing I Know Is I Tried, I Did

    i havent failed im richer than i was im glad it flopped cos now i made more money out of asylum than they did out of me and now race against time will put me back where i was sont worry im the best trust me i record everyday no1 does that race against time out 2nd march easy im a ju ju man thats why tell ben cook you cant bump me bruv now your playing catch up trying to recoup and i got money nice 1 mate
