Ever since Aitch claimed that the younger generation doesn’t care about grime, there’s been a discussion surrounding whether the groundbreaking underground genre has truly died. Though it’s lost its mainstream appeal a few years back in favor of road rap and drill, the sounds of grime are here to stay as long as there are torchbearers.
AJ Tracey has proven to be one of the most versatile MCs in the UK scene but in recent months, he’s been heading back to his roots in grime. This week, he unleashed the single, “West Ten” with Mabel. Flowing at rapid pace over a garage-tinged beat produced by Take A Daytrip, AJ Tracey handles the bar work with ease as Mabel’s douce vocals carry the chorus.

Lyrics
[Intro: Mabel]
Don’t you know I’m walkin’ away?
And if you don’t want me to stay
Only, only, only, only
D-D-Daytrip took it to ten (Hey)
[Chorus: Mabel]
Don’t you know I’m walkin’ away
Now I’m in my own space
Babe you know I ain’t waitin’ for you
And if you don’t want me to stay
Only one thing to say
Babe you know I ain’t waitin’ for you
Want me, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Want me to say
Want me, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Know I ain’t waitin’ for you
Want me, oh, oh, oh, oh
Want me to say
Want me, oh, oh, oh, oh
Know I ain’t waitin’ for you
[Verse 1: AJ Tracey]
Big beast when it comes to the lyrics
Me, I do this ting on the mic with no gimmicks
Came a long way, I was servin’ in those Civics
And you were tryna keep me from winnin’ but I did it, I did it
Ask about me I did it
Let man stay on my sofa, I did it (I did it)
Buss down my watch and my choker, I did it
I keep a straight face in this poker, I did it
Look
Rest assured man’s got you (On my life)
If life weighin’ you down then I’ll spot you (Let’s go)
Water you, show you sun, never block you
If no-one’s backin’ your beef, then I’ve got to (Of course)
Yeah, back your beef that’s my job (Bling bloaw)
Just ride for me, don’t write off (Yeah)
I got your back, hold tight, when you climb on (Yeah)
I’ve always been a real nigga to rely on
[Chorus: Mabel & AJ Tracey]
Don’t you know I’m walkin’ away?
Now I’m in my own space
Babe you know I ain’t waitin’ for you
And if you don’t want me to stay
Only one thing to say
Babe you know I ain’t waitin’ for you
Ask about me I did it
Let man stay on my sofa, I did it (Want me to stay)
Buss down my watch and my choker, I did it
I keep a straight face in this poker, I did it, I did it (Know I ain’t waitin’ for you)
Ask about me I did it
Let man stay on my sofa, I did it (I did it)
Buss down my watch and my choker, I did it
I keep a straight face in this poker, I did it (Know I ain’t waitin’ for you)
[Verse 2: AJ Tracey]
Live and direct, don’t mean I’m live
But live and direct, means I’m buildin’ a vibe (Yeah)
Touch one of mine, on God I’ma ride
I win and break bread for my fam, I provide (Break bread)
Eight-piece AP, come and get me (Bling bloaw)
Set beast, curl it in from a set piece
AJ make the waves like a jetski (Yeah)
Iced out, ice everywhere like I’m Gretzky
Easy money sniper, check my KD
I ball like KD and rock like AC (Let’s go)
You know me, done shows in DC
NYC, drop my top like Page 3
Cool breeze match the London sky
Bubble, cruise like a four wheel drive (Uh)
Take time when I’m on the mic, it’s live
And pressure makes diamonds, try me, I’ll thrive
[Verse 3: Mabel]
Told you I ain’t tryna wait no more
Yeah, I’ve been on you but that don’t mean I’m always yours
Boy listen, boy listen
‘Cause it doesn’t add up, something’s missin’
And I finally switched your position
Might be somebody new that I’m kissin’, yeah
Sayin’ that I’m out of love but you don’t know about me
And maybe if you took the time then you would know what I need
Don’t know what you came here for
Watch me walkin’ out the door
It’s over now, babe I ain’t yours
Ain’t waitin’ for your love no more
[Chorus: Mabel & AJ Tracey]
Only, only, only
(Hey!)
Don’t you know I’m walkin’ away?
Now I’m in my own space
Babe, you know I ain’t waitin’ for you
And if you don’t want me to stay
Only one thing to say
Babe, you know I ain’t waitin’ for you
Ask about me I did it
Let man stay on my sofa, I did it (Want me to stay)
Buss down my watch and my choker, I did it
I keep a straight face in this poker, I did it, I did it (Know I ain’t waitin’ for you)
Ask about me I did it
Let man stay on my sofa, I did it (I did it)
Buss down my watch and my choker, I did it
I keep a straight face in this poker, I did it (Know I ain’t waitin’ for you)
[Outro: Mabel]
Want me, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
D-D-Daytrip took it to ten (Hey)
Want me, oh, oh, oh, oh
Want me to say
Want me, oh, oh, oh, oh
Know I ain’t waitin’ for you
Want me, oh, oh, oh, oh
Want me to say
Want me, oh, oh, oh, oh
Know I ain’t waitin’ for you
