Tre Mission is a Canadian musician,[1] known as one of the first North American artists to be associated with the predominantly United Kingdom-based grime genre.[2] Tre Mission is a member of the Tizzy Gang grime crew alongside London based MCs Merky ACE and Cadell.[3][4]

Background

Originally from Toronto, Ontario,[2] he is of Trinidadian and Jamaican descent.[2] After discovering grime and dubstep music through the Internet, he began making his own grime tracks in 2010, and started to attract positive attention in the United Kingdom.[5] Visiting London in 2011, he began working with established grime stars such as Wiley, JME and Skepta,[6] and released his debut EP The Practice Mission.[5]

He released the mixtape Malmaison in 2013,[7] and followed up with the album Stigmata in 2014.[1]

Stigmata includes guest appearances by Wiley, JME, Skepta, Merky Ace, Saukrates, Andreena and k-os.[1] The album was a shortlisted Juno Award nominee for Rap Recording of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2015.[8]
