Cold Cuts

Wiki teams up with New Jersey producer Subjxct 5 on new mixtape Cold Cuts. The collaborative tape sees 18 tracks of hard hitting hip hop that pays homage to the free-form mixtape era, with loud DJ ad-libs over underground classics, and a focus on lyrical ability, style and flow. Produced entirely by Subjxct 5, and serves as the follow up to Wiki’s 2021 album Half God. There’s also guest features from Navy Blue, Papo2004, YL, DJ Lucas, Afrikillz, Big Ouee, Slicky, Reed & Hunnaloe.

Where 2021’s Half God was a farewell to the Manhattan of Wiki’s youth, the follow-up lacks that record’s deliberate agenda, channeling its freewheeling energy into a free-associative writing style.
