Dennis Junior Odunwo, known under the stage name Tion Wayne is an English hip/hop, rap and drill musician who has released many singles and collaborations who has been in the music scene for quite a time.
He used to release freestyles early 2010’s and he has come a long way now where he just released his debut solo album, ‘Green With Envy’.
Releasing some banger tracks starting with the Intro track ‘Where Were They’ which make this a history of how the rapper has grown from the streets of Edmonton.
In the track he raps, ‘All my life had to hustle and slip, All my teachers told me I wouldn’t be shit, Where were they when I couldn’t get kicks, Now the streets with me, man, I make a man dip makes you listen to the track every time.’
Additionally, Tion Wayne sung the song during GRM Awards and this was a perfect intro for the medley.
For the next track ArrDee collaborates with Tion Wayne for the track ‘Wid It’, ArrDee has collaborated with Tion Wayne for one of the famous tracks Body which is also featured in the album.
Body original from Russ Millions & Tion Wayne is one of the best tracks of the year and has won an award at the GRM event.
Anything Grr, the next proper drill track where Tion Wayne collaborates with 3×3 (E1, Drilla and ZT). This track has a bit roady, ready for anything kind of vibes.
Rock Dat featuring Polo G is where you hear Tion spits venomous verses which are equally spitted by Polo G where they make sure that the vibe of the album is not going down.
Loyal ft NSG the next track featured in the album features smooth saxophone filled tunes with a touch of Afro Swing vibes. Tion was releasing some Afro Beats earlier and this track features the same vibes which he used to release earlier.
More Money, another track that is smooth compared to venomous drill music is a solo track from Tion Wayne. This track is a short yet captivating one that makes a listener listen to the track for its music and suitable lyrics.
D Block Europe collaborates with Tion Wayne for the next track West End is another pop music inspired track with hip/hop lyrics and similarly is the next track WYS with artist Raye. I love the verse in the WYS track ‘Let me explain, she excellent, exclusive, expensive, extra jewels, excuse it, extra, she express or excludin’, My ex just won’t execute, excuses’. Raye has equally delivered amazing verses to the track which makes this an out and out pop music track.
Afro B a long-time collaborator with Tion Wayne has collaborated with the next track 4 Life.
Don’t be fooled with the last couple of tracks after an explosive start to the album as it feels that spitting verses on all tracks makes the album hit hard, however, a balance with smooth, silky tracks and hard verses should be maintained to make the album good to listen.
WOW, the next track in the album returns to the explosive drill tracks which Green with Envy begins with, the track WOW makes this a song to play when you are with your gang.
Body 2 is the famous track featuring Bugzy Malone, Fivio Foreign, Darkoo, Buni, ArrDee and E1 and ZT. The Original Song with Russ Millions is one of the first drill songs to reach the UK #1 charts.
Realest One, Spend a Bag featuring 6LACK offers a little relief from the hard-hitting songs which the next song covers where Tion has collaborated with Joe Black, Scorcher, Rimzee & Potter Payper some of the amazing UK Drill Rappers.
Returning to a little bit of Afroswing vibes is the next track and the track which I have listened to multiple times is Whos True which Tion collaborates with Davido a popular Nigerian-American music artist.
The last two tracks Homecoming and Road to Riches gives a perfect end to the album sees the return to the hoodie rap which overall settles the score of the album and the track road to riches ends with an amazing piece of music.
Tion Wayne had recently collaborated with Central Cee and Fumez the Engineer for a remix of the track Bad Habits from Ed Sheeran which had made waves when it was released.
