In this record, British rapper Wiley is rejecting all labels floating around for his style, dissing UK garage and two-step and stressing what makes him distinct from them. This is a typical statement for many musicians, who refuse to be categorized and restricted by the confines of a certain style – music, they feel, should be completely free. However, music is also a way to define oneself, and when a certain new musical sensibility is found, and produces enough records that manifest it, it inevitably gets labeled. Wiley wants to be outside of every category, but this is one of the records that define grime.
