Album: Alive Till I Am Dead
Artist: Professor Green
Buy: Why not?
White rappers are inevitably compared to Eminem but in the case of 26-year-old Stephen Manderson, with the stage name Professor Green, it’s appropriate. His might be the latest act to follow Dizzee Rascal out of the East London grime scene and into the pop charts, but […]
