Hip-Hop artist Wilfredo recently released his latest single, No Ice, on Friday, June 25, 2021. The bilingual pop-trap tune, produced by Who Is Wayne Klassik, and with mix & master by The Producer Joe, is Wilfredo's fifth single overall, but his first musical offering of the year.
Wilfredo has been gradually building his presence in the Christian hip-hop scene over the last couple years. His first songs dropped in 2019 in anticipation of his short album The Story of Redemption and since then he has been consistently dropping singles. He has also begun performing live, as in-person music events slowly begin to take place again, and will be performing alongside Jonathan Wright, among others, in a benefit concert for the homeless on July 17 in Orlando, Florida.
With the release of No Ice, however, Wilfredo officially begins the countdown to his new album - this time a full-length LP with a host of credited producers and guest features. Entitled Bloomed In The Moonlight, the album was initially slated for a May 9, 2021 release, but was pushed back at Wilfredo's discretion in order to make sure his artistic vision was fully realized. The pressure to get this project right is probably intensified all the more by the fact that the music is significantly inspired by the recent passing of the artist's mother. The whole album was written in the course of just 5 weeks after the tragic loss.
The results, however, aren't necessarily all sombre or depressing. While Wilfredo does pay tribute to his mother in the music video for this most recent song, the overall vibe is upbeat, playful, and energetic. This is an artist who thrives in the nuanced space between depth and fun. And while a hard release date for the new album hasn't yet been publicly announced, fans can rest assured that they will be hearing more from Wilfredo soon.

"No Ice" Lyrics:
Wilfredo
Who else
Wayne Klassik
Many want the sauce
Others want the juice
I just want living water that leads to the truth
Not just empirical data talking bout the man on the throne with the scars on his hands
The one with the plans who connected heaven and earth and became a ladder
Constantly looking for novelty honestly will make you despise monotony
I Cashed in my sin now I'm aging is it possible that my Maker is younger than I
Untamable grace is what he breathes out every second exhales an heir
Inhale his love and make your life unfadeable like my hair
Lately, I’ve been praying cause my mama has gone to sleep till kingdom comes then she
Will see all my nephews and nieces grow up and meet my lady, kiss my babies
La vida es corta, ruda, peligrosa
Con fe es larga, bella, y preciosa
No te dejes llevar por esas cosa
Que la paz te roba y te derrota
Lord fill me up until I overflow
Empty me of myself
Cause I don’t want me no more
I want to flow the Nile
No longer in denial
Surround me like an isle
Hey, Hey, Hey
So fill me up with no ice (fill me up with no ice)
I want to live a new life (I want to live a new life)
Empty of myself (Empty of myself)
And fill me up with no ice
Fill me up with no ice
Many want the sauce
Others want the juice
I just want living water that leads to the truth
Not an emotional spasm Induced by chanting repetitive words that leave you weary
It's eerie your still walking dreary You handle the truth like it’s a theory
Constantly sacrificing character at the altar of fame it will leave you dimmer
True change begins with the man in the mirror life is dangerous and it can be a thriller
P.Y.T can be a P.I.T for your E.Y.E careful what you can see
Pops told me the sickness is in the patient so stop tryna change the sheets
The fruit of love is obedience
Growth can be tedious
Practice is what makes you a deviant
Professing only will lead to oblivion
Grace is what makes you resilient porque
La vida es corta, ruda, peligrosa
Con fe es larga, bella, y preciosa
No te dejes llevar por esas cosa
Que la paz te roba y te derrota
Lord fill me up until I overflow
Empty me of myself
Cause I don’t want me no more
I want to flow the Nile
No longer in denial
Surround me like an isle
Hey, Hey, Hey
So fill me up with no ice (fill me up with no ice)
I want to live a new life (I want to live a new life)
Empty of myself (Empty of myself)
And fill me up with no ice
Fill me up with no ice
Fill me up with no ice (fill me up with no ice)
I want to live a new life (I want to live a new life)
Empty of myself (Empty of myself)
And fill me up with no ice
Fill me up with no ice
Yeah who else
Wayne Klassik
yeah who else Wilfredo
