Professor Green: Till I Die

A few weeks back, we caught up with the the UK’s hottest act right now, the one and only Professor Green. Pro has traveled a long road since his days battling on stage at the Jump-Off, getting signed to Mike Skinner’s label, The Beats, which then went bust a short time later, leaving Pro with a tough choice: give up and get a real job, or carry on pushing for his dream.

His music presents a blend of hip-hop, grime, pop, rock and electro and as a result, Professor Green has an arsenal of huge tracks, from heavy hitting grime anthems like ‘Upper Clapton Dance’ to top 10 pop smashes like his last single ‘I Need You Tonight’. One thing that holds true about Professor Green is his honesty, as no matter how conflicting his musical repertoire might seem, each tune reflects a different side of his personality, something which you’ll find in abundance on his debut album ‘Alive Till I’m Dead’. We sat down with Pro to discuss his recent success, the highs and lows of his career so far, and of course, his views on style and the UK scene.
