After kicking off the year with his dominating single "Done Properly", underground rapper Piers James is back with Dream McLean for dark new banger "Villain".

Backed by a booming instrumental, complete with rolling trap drums and a chest-rattling bass line, "Villain" sees the two rappers revel in their outsider status. Wanna look at me like the villain / caught in your feelings, see me I'm winning, grinning, McLean says, taunting the haters.

Like them or not, Piers James and Dream McLean are a heaven-sent partnership here to do some damage. Hopefully, this isn't the last time we hear the pair together.
