The Lord of the Mics’ 2004 Wiley vs Kano clash is one of the significant clashes in Grime history, rivaled only by the legendary Skepta vs Devilman Clash. But where Skepta vs Devilman was easily a victory for Skepta, the result of Wiley and Kano’s showdown during the first ever Lord of the Mics is a source of eternal debate. So when Lord of the Mics’ host Jammer posted texts from Wiley requesting a rematch on to his Instagram, the Grime scene went into hype overdrive.

Jammer echoed Wiley’s sentiments concerning a respectful clash, writing on the Instagram post: “Wiley wants a respectable rematch with @therealkano the reasons these clashes was good is the artist both respect each other!!!! It’s not a hate clash it’s a clash about skills and the art-form of battle”

So with the Prospect of a rematch between the Grime Godfather and N.A.S.T.Y. Crew’s finest, here’s their first showdown – and maybe you can decide who won LOTM1?
