British rapper Wiley rates Emeli Sandé more than Adele.

The Scottish songstress - who scooped Best British Female and the coveted Best British Album awards at this year's BRITs - features on the star's album.

Wiley says the 'Clown' singer deserves her burgeoning success in the US too.

Speaking to Digital Spy he revealed: "Yeah but she deserves it. Listen to this - I rate her more than Adele. I like Adele but I rate Emeli more. Adele is sick but Emeli is against odds. A lot of people thought she wouldn't go anywhere and she did. I didn't think England would accept her."

Wiley also weighed in on fellow rap star Dizzee Rascal's new music.

He explained: "I've only heard 'Bassline Junkie'. I know that it's pop - I saw him tweet something along those lines about it. It'll probably be along the lines of 'Bonkers', but that's how it is."
