Award-winning rapper Professor Green has had quite a career since arriving on the music scene back in 2010. He soon toured with Lily Allen and won legions of fans as his track Just Be Good To Green soared in the charts.
But as he looks back at how far he’s come, Professor Green – real name Stephen Manderson – says he now has the freedom he’s always dreamt of as an artist. “I’m in a place where I can actually enjoy it. I’m not in the hamster wheel, with that perpetual state of asking, ‘What’s next?’” he says.
