[@TothePointSports]

I remember when Wiki's teeth first got knocked out and I assumed within a few weeks he'd get it fixed. Like 8 years later the gap is still going strong and honestly hope he always leaves it haha. You're the man Wik!

[@WagonerVT]

Its his signature sound now haha

[@monogramadikt5971]

ive got a cracked front tooth, i got quoted $4k to get it fixed... so that aint happening.. will be joining the gap club soon enough i guess lol

[@BCC288]

@@monogramadikt5971 maybe you can get a filling. one of my front teeth was chipped and it cost $200 or so. to fix it

"The landlord recording us but ignoring us" damn🔥

Hes getting better and better

[@gsoto420]

Alright with Navy Blue producing....IT'S TIME FOR AN EARL/WIKI COLLAB TAPE. The signs are all there to push these 2 back together, but fuck a single track...we dying for a WHOLE PROJECT.

[@darkfiasco]

They got a collab on the album actually!

[@RebornLegacy]

That's literally what I was thinking. Wiki and Earl Sweatshirt would be dope together.

[@deadlotuses]

@@RebornLegacy that old track off i don't go outside one of the hardest ever

[@Sinstat]

It was fire

[@Delerisk]

"When the breeze hits and the weather's gorgeous You know where I'll be, atop my fortress You ain't gotta see it, you can hear the portrait (You can hear it) Can't stop, peering over watching the ants walk from my rooftop, feeling enormous And then the wind hits, filling me with endorphins And now I know what's really important" I love it

[@gupmali]

This is crazyyyyyy

[@shotbyfabi]

I went from vibing to the song then my jaw dropping when I heard those lines.

[@DavidFarquharsonPhotography]

“You don’t gotta see it you can hear the portrait.” 🔥🔥🔥

[@brucepremier]

Love when Wiki spits on drumless beats! 🔥🔥🔥

[@Hamza52199]

Was about to comment the same thing. Wik always mad introspective on these beats

[@S23K]

This was dope, usually tracks with beatless beats just sound like long interludes..

[@allisterjones]

totally. Eggs really just let him shine honestly.

[@glockteau______twins]

r u deaf?

[@Tmathh]

there's still drums homie. theres a consistent kick and then that drum roll at the end of the bars

[@motrednebv1563]

I pray for this man to blow up. Most underrated in the game

[@213byron]

Same. I’m surprised he isn’t more popular

[@Alice-kv3sg]

He would’ve been if Secret Circle split

[@gottaproxy8826]

studio rappers only get famous from opening their third eye. the brown eye, not the pineal gland.

[@averystrangeguy4378]

He did kinda blow up with Ratking but then kinda lost some momentum when Secret Circle fell out (fuck Antwon). It's looking good now tho IMO. He's got such a good discography, this Navy Blue tape seems like it's gonna be amazing, and honestly the hip hop world seems more ready for him now. Griselda and sLums are really big now, so I think a lot more hip hop fans have a taste for the kind of unique delivery and bars that Wiki has

[@hugh-jasole]

@@averystrangeguy4378 What happened with Ratking? That's how i first heard about Wiki his rapping always stood out to me even the I'm glad I got back into his music

[@213byron]

"Looking at the cityscape is it a simulation? In the middle of the city. In isolation." I know Wik from NY but even living in LA I felt this. I can see DTLA from my apartment roof too.

[@benignmalevolence_]

The new york scene is wild right now. Crazy to see how all these artists are coming together dropping quality after quality. Iron sharpens iron.

[@Hermentotip]

WTF do you know!?

[@ChainsTheChef888]

I discovered Wiki randomly through KZbin algorithms since i listen to a lot of madlib beats, the video that got recommended to me was "Eggs" that song and video was enough for me to say "okay this dude can rap as the old cats from the 90's" you can hear it on the rhyme schemes and flow it's so clean, props wiki

telephonebooth was really incredible. one of my fav projects of the last few years. im glad to see this new, more mature shit from wik. named my cat after u, cant wait to see what's next.

[@DannyFrio]

had this video playing kinda in the background the other day and didn’t know my girl was listening from the other room. this aint normally her lane so I was surprised when it ended and she was like “that was really good”. good music is good music tho. now I want her to see the video

[@dgayle2348]

I remember reading about some dude who made an album called Illinoize (or something), and the album apparently was very specifically tailored to residents of Illinois. I think this Wiki record will be a very New York project, if that makes sense.

[@need_distraction]

lol, sufjan stevens? he also made a michigan album, it's really good!

[@yahboyx]

I dead ass miss my roof top. It was open for years . I’d go there to smoke , collect my thoughts and hang out with friends . When I inherited my apartment I stopped going to the roof because I now had my own room . Little did I know that one building inspection caused the landlord to install new alarms on the door way to go to the roof . I still have my room but god damn I miss the roof top vibes just staring at the view and thinking about life .
