He takes a genre which we think we know and which, in all honesty, he should have no right interfering with. Then he re-shapes it into something entirely new. Coming over as the missing link between \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/ninjatune.net\/artist\/wiley\"\u003eWiley\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eOutkast\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/ninjatune.net\/artist\/tre-mission#.U3TQtK2wK7M\"\u003eMission\u003c\/a\u003e elaborates the connections (via his own roots in the Caribbean) between UK grime and North American rap and makes the whole thing sound as natural, as soulful, as hard and heavy as you like.\r\n\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the woozy atmospherics of the title track onward, you know you’re in for something special. \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/ninjatune.net\/artist\/tre-mission#.U3TQtK2wK7M\"\u003eTre\u003c\/a\u003e hits the beat with his precise, complex flow, managing to express the kind of fragility which distinguishes the very best grime MCs. \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/ninjatune.net\/artist\/wiley\"\u003eWiley\u003c\/a\u003e—\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/ninjatune.net\/artist\/tre-mission#.U3TQtK2wK7M\"\u003eTre\u003c\/a\u003e’s earliest supporter and champion in the UK—features on \u003cem\u003e“Real Grind,”\u003c\/em\u003e while Canadian hip hop legend \u003cstrong\u003eSaukrates\u003c\/strong\u003e joins him on \u003cem\u003e“Get Doe,”\u003c\/em\u003e the pair serving to signal the range of his work. \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/ninjatune.net\/artist\/tre-mission#.U3TQtK2wK7M\"\u003eMission\u003c\/a\u003e trades verses with \u003cstrong\u003eJME\u003c\/strong\u003e on \u003cem\u003e“Rally,”\u003c\/em\u003e something like a sequel to \u003cem\u003e“If You Don’t Know.” “On Road”\u003c\/em\u003e combines an old skool twostep feel with uneasy, bleary tension for one of the stand-outs of the record. \u003cem\u003e“In The Hallway”\u003c\/em\u003e is epic, widescreen bounce with the added bonus of a verse from \u003cstrong\u003eSkepta\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cem\u003e“Jack Pot”\u003c\/em\u003e is sparse, harsh, bass-heavy grime, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/ninjatune.net\/artist\/tre-mission#.U3TQtK2wK7M\"\u003eTre's\u003c\/a\u003e flow matched by \u003cstrong\u003eMerky Ace\u003c\/strong\u003e.
