Wild West is the full mixtape debut from up-and-coming West London artist Central Cee. The mixtape follows a successful 2020 through the release of hit-singles “Day In The Life” and “Loading”.
The title of the mixtape alludes to his home ground of West London, as he spends the entire mixtape narrating through the gritty life that he experienced growing up.
Central Cee dropped the single “Pinging (6 Figures)” on January 16th 2021 alongside with the mixtape announcement. Following a month later, on the 12th of February, he dropped the Valentine’s special single “Commitment Issues”, with the final single “6 for 6” dropping on the 11th of March, a day before the mixtape dropped.
When speaking to COMPLEX, Cench said:
"The fact that I’m an independent artist and have no features on the tape is a statement in itself, I think. It says what I want it to say. Knowing that I’ve put my best foot forward and put together the best body of music that I can, I’m not too fussed about how it does commercially, as long as it’s appreciated by the people that have been listening and supporting up to this point."
Building on the signature sound he brandished in 2020 as he started to gain recognition, Cench’s growth as an artist shows within the mixtape. Getting deep into his criminal past on tracks like “Fraud”, showing a more conscious mind on the inequality of West London on tracks like “Gangbiz”, and his showcasing his raw pain ridden story-telling ability on “Ruby”. This project proves Cench is here to stay, he’s just loading.
