Wiley's as contentious as it gets. Though his controversial statements in the past have led to rightful consequences, he's remained steady in his release schedule. It seems like he's kept a slew of bangers on deck that he's been unloading onto the public. This week, he returned with the adrenaline-pumping single, "I Ain't Gonna Fold." The rapper takes the bass-heavy production, which gives you a better glimpse at grime's influence on UK drill and completely demolishes it with fast-paced flows. The song features another grime vet, Kozzie, who slides through on the second verse with a monstrous presence.
The new single from Wiley follows the release of tracks like "Tour Bus" and "Tinted Metro."
Stay tuned for more information on Wiley's forthcoming project, Anti-Systemic.
Quotable Lyrics
Send anybody, I ain’t gonna fold
All your little dead tactics, them are old
I can see through you, you’re a fake mold
And I can’t chat shit with you, I’m too cold
