British rapper Professor Green has dedicated a song on his new album to pal Lily Allen, thanking the singer for helping launch his music career after he suffered a bout of depression.
The hip-hop star toured with the Smile hitmaker in 2009 and they later collaborated on his 2010 track Just Be Good to Green.
