Alex Wiley (Chicago, IL) – “Own Man” ft. Mick Jenkins (prod by Odd Couple)
Alex Wiley releases “Own Man” feat Mick Jenkins, Announces Village Party Mixtape Due Spring 2014!!!
Chicago native Alex Wiley established himself as an artist to watch out of the windy city’s bubbling Hip Hop scene with the June 2013 release of his debut mixtape, Club Wiley. Detailed song structure, lush production, and unpredictable flow patterns characterized Club Wiley, and made it one of the best mixtapes to be released last year according to Chicago Hip Hop authority, FakeShoreDrive. Today, Alex Wiley is ready to announce his anticipated follow-up, Village Party. The new mixtape represents a natural progression for Alex Wiley, and will be released in Spring of 2014 via Closed Sessions.
“It’s a way more honest and personal project,” says Wiley about his sophomore mixtape. “I want people to feel like they really know me when they listen to something. People are listening to me now from all over the country, and when I visit their city, I want it to feel like a friend coming into town.”
To go along with the announcement of Village Party, Alex Wiley is giving his fans the mixtape’s first single, “Own Man”, featuring fellow up and coming emcee, Mick Jenkins. “Own Man” is produced by Odd Couple and is a triumphant and honest record that clearly outlines each emcee’s effort and intent. “Own Man” also provides listeners with a taste of what’s to come on Village Party as far as attention to detail, melody, and lyrics that bring listeners closer inside the mind of Alex Wiley.
Says Wiley, “On a basic level, I’m better at rapping and also talking about experiences. Village Party is introspective but with a different bounce. It’s eloquent.
