North London artist Tion Wayne drops off his highly-anticipated debut album Green With Envy.
The 17-track album Green With Envy is packed with heaters and the Edmonton rapper reflects on the precious details of his storied rise. He recalls his days playing UK student parties with early collaborators Afro B (“4 Life”) and NSG (“Loyal”), revisiting their sparkling Afropop sound mixed with British street slang and adrenalised, regional energy. His rep-making, high-octane mixtapes are nodded to with the irresistible anthems, ad libs and witty punchlines—and that desire to spread across all sounds on offer. He gets gritty on drill with a searing, nine-verse remix of chart-topping single “Body”; duets with RAYE on the airy, R&B-leaning “WYS”; spins a vintage T-Pain hook with Davido and JAE5 for “Who’s True”; and unfurls a touching six-minute confessional covering half-starts and heartbreaks that nearly derailed his momentum (“Homecoming”).
Alongside the album release Tion Wayne also shares the visual for Who’s True featuring Davido and can be seen below.
