TRE MISSION’s debut album Stigmata accomplishes something remarkable. It takes a genre everyone thinks they know and with which he shouldn’t, in all honesty, have the right to interfere, and he makes something entirely new out of it. The Toronto-born rapper appears as the missing link between Wiley and Outkast. TRE MISSION prodigiously finds the link (through his own Caribbean roots) between English grime and North American rap. TRE sets the pace with his precise and complex flow, brilliantly expressing the kind of fragility that distinguishes the best grime MCs. The result is a melancholic, true, powerful, and raw album.
