UK Lime: Wiley x Jamaica: “If I Could” Video

Words by Eddie STATS Houghton, via the Heatwave

So while I was in Jamaica recently, getting ducked by Vybz Kartel, I ended up in the studio with Prodigal and Dre Skull, listening to some crazy unreleased Wiley and Natalie Storm tracks on Prodigalโ€™s showa-eski riddims (more to come!). Wiley, it seems is practically a Kingston resident, these days and one of the most tangible result of his new environs is this stunning video which was just posted by our UK dudes at Heatwave. And if this haunting, vibey and surprisingly un-grimy composition is a sign of Wiley to come, the balmy breezes of JA may have melted his eski heart.
