The past year has been major for Wiley. While at the top of 2017, he teased the idea of retiring from making music following the release of Godfather, however, that's clearly not the case. Since then, the emcee received some major accolades in the U.K. including being appointed as a Member of the Order of the British Empire for his services for music. In addition, he also released an auto-biography last fall. Today, he comes through with his highly anticipated follow up to 2017's Godfather.
Despite being in the game for over 20 years, Wiley continues to prove that he's still hungry with the release of his latest album, Godfather II. His new album is twelve tracks deep and hails features from the likes of Kyla, JME, D Double E, Shakka, Scratchy and Wretch 32. He's previously released, "I Call The Shots" with JME as well as "Been A While."
