Godfather

With UK grime in its purest form enjoying more mainstream acclaim than ever, it's only right The Godfather returns to grab some limelight. The focus, energy, and crisp, production of single “Speakerbox” are apparent throughout, and Wiley's lyrics are typically brimful of themes and thoughts. There's bravado (“Back With a Banger”), generosity (“Name Brand”), nostalgia (“Joe Bloggs”), and pin-sharp humour (just about everything). On solitary downtempo moment “U Were Always, Pt. 2”, there’s even romantic drama in a chicken restaurant.
