Wiley-
‘Godfather’
The grime innovator Wiley is back with his brand new LP ‘Godfather’. With
an album obtaining a title like that, the listener expects a confident effort
from the East London MC, and Wiley truly delivers on ‘Godfather’.
Wiley is now truly considered to be one of the kings of grime, with ‘Godfather’
being his 11th studio album, effectively exhibiting his true talent
and dedication for this genre that he effectively started, or at least made popular
and accessible. ‘Godfather’ is a long album, 17 tracks long in fact, however his
newest effort appears to be one of his best in a long time. The album features
banger-after-banger with each track offering slick beats paired with
high-energy bars and appealing hooks. ‘Godfather’ somewhat feels like a
celebration of all that grime achieved in 2016, with the album featuring
guest-spots from various MC’s at the top of their game, including Skepta, JME,
Ghetts, Frisco, Devlin, Chip & Flowdan, successfully displaying the vast
talent that this genre has.
‘Godfather’ rather rather seems to be like a dad creating an album with his children, with
Wiley mastering an album with his grime friends that will all no doubt view him
as the don of grime, quite obviously explaining the title of this album. Wiley clearly knows he is at the top of his game and is happy celebrating this fact. Long live Eskiboy.
