***CHIEF WIGZ + SONAR COUSIN***
One of the hardest working emcees in Leeds, WY & the UK!
A member of the renowned 9 Lives Clik, Fly Tippers & releasing material through Don’t Talk to Strangers has seen Wigz go from strength to strength & his latest offering, ‘The Cat Came Back’ was produced by Sonar Cousin & is getting rave reviews!
The Certified Banger blog had this to say about CW’s self-titled album: “Lyrically Chief Wigz has gone from strength to strength and on his self-titled opus a matured, measured wordsmith is on show. Whether playing on root words, penning poetry or speaking from the heart to loved ones Wigz is in no way painful on the ears – many MCs could learn a lesson by simply absorbing this material.”
Come see the Chief in action!!!
