Here's the first single, "Read All About It" (featuring Emeli Sande) from At Your Inconvenience—Professor Green's latest/follow-up to last year's sensational record, Alive Till I'm Dead.

professor green: alive till i'm dead

I have waited four long years for the follow-up to Professor Green’s first mixtape, Lecture #1. So one would think that with such anticipation, disappointment is inevitable, right? Wrong! I am far from being disappointed by Alive Till I'm Dead; in fact, it is one of my favourite albums of the year so far! One thing I loved about the Lecture #1 mixtape was Green’s humourous and cocky attitude... the fact the he does not take himself too seriously. Alive Till I'm Dead is full of that goodness, plus awesome sampling of some retro classics such as The SOS Band’s "Just Be Good To Me" and INXS’ "Need You Tonight". Sure, there are a few serious moments, but the majority of the album is incredibly fun and entertaining... hardly a dull moment!

Also, since I am posting like a thousand videos, might as well post one more: check out this amazing new single by Tinchy Stryder, which features a handful of guests including Professor Green and my new favourite Grime artist, Devlin.

they ain't rappin' like pro

What’s with all the amazing hip-hop talents coming out of the UK?? My first experience with UK rap came from The Streets. Shortly after, I got into Dizzee Rascal, Kano, and Wiley. Then last year, I started listening to the unbelievable lyricist, Plan B. My latest discovery in UK hip-hop is a MC from East London who goes by the stage name, Professor Green. So far (from what I could gathered), Professor Green has only released a mixtape and a single... and the single track, "Before I Die" is actually included in the mixtape. Despite limited studio materials, Professor Green is without a doubt, a very promising new artist. For one, the mixtape, Lecture #1, features some incredible rhymes and flows; and not to mention, Professor Green has the same witty, cocky attitude that made Eminem a key player in North America hip-hop. Oh, and did you know, Professor Green is signed to Mike Skinner’s label, The Beats... now, that's pretty impressive!
