If you're unfamiliar, Wiki has been a fixture of New York City hip hop since 17 years old when he founded the boundary defying group Ratking. When painting lyrical pictures of New York scenes one gets a sense of Wiki's skill as a storyteller and visionary. Over the years, he has solidified his role in carrying the torch for NYC's master MCs; representing for the freaks, weirdos and underbelly culture.
This year, Wiki released the album Half God, produced entirely by Navy Blue. Half God features collaborative tracks "All I Need" featuring Earl Sweatshirt, "Can't Do This Alone" featuring a verse from Navy Blue, and "Promised" featuring MIKE along with the solo singles "Remarkably" and "Roof." Half God has been praised by Pitchfork, NPR, Rolling Stone and more.

In 2009 Patrick "Wiki" Morales, a Puerto Rican-Irish mutt teenager, was looking to explore beyond his born neighborhood of the intellectually rich, culturally diverse area of the Upper West Side of Manhattan. And like every kid his age, Wiki was itching to explore the underbelly of the island - downtown Manhattan. It's a migration that's cultivated the 23-year-old young rapper we know today: an authentic New York City analyst who has become the voice of a generation, making Wiki one in a million.
NYC born and bred artist Wiki emerged as a solo artist with his critically-acclaimed 2017 debut album No Mountains In Manhattan, which served as a heartfelt ode to the city that raised him. In November, Wiki released his second solo album OOFIE, which saw one of NYC's most prominent wordsmiths shift his lens onto himself and contemplate his place in the world as he grows up.
