Wiley, the Godfather of Grime, is gearing up to drop another smash album in the coming weeks. Following the release of 2017's Godfather album, many fans interpreted it as the final project he'd release. However, that doesn't seem to be the case. With the sequel dropping on March 9th, Wiley continues to push grime culture. Today, he releases his new single "Been A While."
Wiley drops off a brand new grime banger in anticipation for his upcoming album Godfather II. The emcee delivers as high energy single with his new song "Been A While." The song follows his Scratchy and D Double E collab on "Bar" he released in December. "Been A While" is proof that Wiley hasn't lost his touch one bit and continues to bring that classic grime feel to the table. With a few more weeks to go, it's exciting to hear what Wiley does this time around.
Quotable Lyrics
Still feel like a car that's been made but has never been driven
Sick riddim for days, I still bill 'em
If a spitters putting me to the test, I still spin em
In tracksuits or demins, I possess the venom
