As he continues his steady rise, newcomer Wiley From Atlanta has dropped his debut album Blue Don't Make Me Cry.

While full-length projects typically arrive on Fridays, the ATL artist is following his own rules (or taking a page out of Beyoncé's rulebook). And it's paying off either way, because this record didn't let us down.

Wiley has quickly become a Variance favorite and we premiered his standout track "Champion" last month. The song is one of nine featured on the newly released album.

Drawing inspiration from the likes of fellow ATL icons such as André 3000, with a sound putting himself somewhere in the mix of artists such Yellow Days and Mac DeMarco, Wiley From Atlanta is just getting started. Keep an eye on him this year.
