Wiki renders them vividly, dusting off the dense, chaotic rhyme patterns of Definitive Jux Records from the late 1990s into the early 2000s and giving them new life. He raps in literal circles, alighting on cadences and abandoning them just as quickly. At his best, his assonance is thick and witty: “Overreacted, matter of fact, overattracted/To every ho that passed with her overgrown assets,” he raps on “646-704-2610.”

And he’s a character — self-aggrandizing and self-loathing, mischievous, salty and wry. He talks tough, too, but he’s more rapscallion than menace: “To every mother with a stroller eyeing me when I roll up/Know your kid’s gonna be just like me when he grows up,” he raps on “Pretty Picture,” which goes on to detail encounters with aggressive police officers:

Always hear “Hey, get over here,” brings me total fear

When it goes in my ear, even when I’m sober and clear

It’s like they see the trouble in my eyes

I’m drunk, so every cop, I see double in my eyes

Against the car, thinking of my rebuttal but I’m high

So I can’t think of an enough subtle of a lie

“Wikispeaks” was Wiki’s breakout hit, thanks to the kids-running-wild-in-the-city video that was released in March. In it, Wiki looks slight but convincing, rapping, “I’m straight New York, what a lot of y’all pretending to be” in a North Face jacket.

Since he’s skilled and flexible, there’s a whiff of unpredictability to Wiki’s rapping. On “Wiki93,” that’s matched by production that moves easily from messy fuzz to aquatic thump, all with a bit of clangor to it.
