Idris Elba's one of the most revered actors in the film industry, but many seem to overlook his musical talents. Although DJing seems to be his preferred musical outlet, he's dished out a few bars in the past. Now, he links up with Wiley, Sean Paul, and Stefflon Don for "Boasty."

Wiley returns with a revamped version of his single, "Boasty," but this time, he recruits the likes of Stefflon Don, Sean Paul and Idris Elba for some assistance. The four artists swap some "Boasty" bars on this dancehall-influenced record. Wiley kicks things off before passing it off to Stefflon Don and Sean Paul. Idris Elba comes through at the end of the track with a stand-out verse, further confirming that he's one of the most talented men in Hollywood.

The song arrives shortly after it was revealed that Idris Elba would be performing a DJ set at this year's Coachella.

Quotable Lyrics
I came to win battle we dats a sin
Disrespect man get a slap pon yuh chin
Man ah king , me nah talk 'bout Larry
Man a big DJ, ask Meghan and Harry
