Music career[edit]

Pre-Career[edit]

Giggs states in his interview with NFTR that he started out originally as a DJ in Peckham, predominately playing reggae, ragga and bashment. He also had his own radio station called 'Spare No One FM'.[6]

2005–08: Career beginnings and Walk in da Park[edit]

After deciding to pursue a music career, he released numerous mixtapes including Hollowman Meets Blade which featured Blade Brown, Welcome to Boomzville, Best of Giggs 1 and 2 and 3 and Ard Bodied, which featured Dubz. His mixtapes have supposedly sold more than 10,000 units. This success helped his popularity expand outside London.[7]

In 2007, Giggs released the track 'Talkin' da Hardest', which featured Giggs rapping over the instrumental of Stat Quo's song 'Here We Go' originally produced by Dr. Dre. 'Talkin da Hardest' was later certified silver after it was officially released. In 2008 he released his debut album Walk in da Park independently. This album helped Giggs’ popularity expand outside London and in 2008 he was nominated for the BET Awards in the US for Best Hip-Hop Act: UK. Giggs won the award beating out more established acts at the time.

2009–12: Let Em Ave It[edit]

In August 2009 Giggs signed a record deal with XL Recordings.

Giggs released Let Em Ave It in 2009 and singles released from that album include 'Slow Songs' featuring Mike Skinner, 'Look What The Cat Dragged In' and 'Don't Go There' featuring American rapper B.o.B. At the Reading Festival in 2010, Giggs appeared on BBC Three, which was his first television appearance, performing his single 'Look What The Cat Dragged In'. That year he also appeared on Tinchy Stryder's single 'Game Over' Alongside Chipmunk, Devlin, Example, Tinie Tempah and Professor Green. The single charted at No. 21 in the Official UK Singles Chart. This year he was nominated at the MOBO awards in the Best UK Hip Hop/Grime category. He was then nominated again for the same award in 2011.

2013–14: When Will It Stop[edit]

In 2013, Giggs released the album When Will It Stop. The album featured artists such as Ed Sheeran and Styles P. It debuted at number 21 on the UK Albums Chart, becoming his highest-charting album at the time.

2015–present: Landlord and Wamp 2 Dem[edit]

As Giggs geared up for the release of his album Landlord he featured on many records. Two notable records were 'Man Don't Care' by JME and 'Three Wheel Ups' by Kano, also featuring Wiley. 'Man Don't Care' went on to be certified Gold in the UK by the BPI whilst 'Three Wheel Ups' was certified silver.

On 5 August 2016, Giggs released his fourth studio album Landlord independently on SN1 Records. The album features guest appearances from Stormzy, Rico Love, Donae'o and more. It was received well and garnered very positive reviews. Landlord became Giggs' highest entry on the UK Albums Chart, debuting at number two. The album was preceded by the lead single 'Whippin Excursion' and followed up with the club-themed 'Lock Doh', which achieved a Gold certification from the BPI in March 2018. The album Landlord also went on to be certified silver by the BPI. Landlord was nominated for Best Album at the 2016 MOBO Awards.

Also in 2016, Giggs was nominated for several awards at the KA & GRM Daily Rated Awards. On the night he walked away with the Artist of the Year Award. This year he was also nominated for two MOBO awards. Best Rap/Hip-Hop and Best Album.

In March 2017, Giggs was featured on two songs from Canadian rapper Drake's album More Life, 'No Long Talk' and 'KMT'. 'KMT' peaked at No.9 on the UK Singles Chart whilst 'No Long Talk' peaked at 17. 'KMT' is certified gold in the UK by the BPI and 'No Long Talk' is certified silver.

Giggs was nominated for Best Hip Hop at the 2017 MOBO Awards, which he went on to win. He was also nominated for Best International Act: Europe at the 2017 BET Awards.

On 6 October 2017, Giggs released a new mixtape entitled Wamp 2 Dem. Despite also being offered as a free download, the project sold enough units to enter the UK Albums Chart at number two, making it his joint highest-charting release. Giggs released 'Linguo' featuring Donae'O as the only single from the project, it peaked at No. 28 on the UK singles chart and would later be certified silver by the BPI.

Giggs collaborator Drake was a surprise headline act at Wireless 2018 in London, filling in for DJ Khaled. Drake would come out right after Giggs' Wireless set, as they performed KMT for the second time in the UK. They first performed KMT at Reading Festival, where Giggs brought out Drake as a surprise guest.[8]

Legal issues[edit]

Giggs was convicted for possession of a firearm in 2003, and sentenced to two years in prison. In February 2012, police searched a car Giggs was in and found an illegal firearm; Giggs spent six months remanded in custody, despite the driver admitting to owning the gun, as police accused Giggs of being aware of the firearm. Giggs was acquitted on all charges.[9]

Giggs often experienced venues cancelling events he was scheduled to appear at mere hours before the performance.[9][10] Giggs was dropped as support act for Lil Wayne before a 2006 tour without explanation.[10] These incidents have been linked to actions of the Metropolitan Police Service, who have been said to have specifically targeted Giggs.[9][10][11] Giggs believes that they 'must have called the venues and threatened them with taking away their licences'.[10] In 2010, he said that 'every single thing I do that's supposed to be positive, they fuck up for me'. In 2013, he stated: 'I don't want to get caught up in whose fault it is, or whether the police are after me [..] I'm just happy to be making music again'.[9]

Walk in the park book

In 2009, the Metropolitan Police wrote to XL strongly advising the label not to sign Giggs, though they did so anyway.[10] A 2010 tour planned by Giggs was cancelled due to police warnings.[9] In 2013, Giggs' London performance of material from When Will It Stop was cancelled by police, after they had given him the go-ahead. Giggs responded in a video publicly apologising to fans, reimbursing them for tickets, and sarcastically praising the police's attempts to 'slow [him] down'.[11]

Walk in da Park is the debut album by EnglishrapperGiggs. It was released on 4 August 2008 independently through SN1 Records.[1] It is Giggs' first commercial release after putting out a collection of mixtapes from 2005 onwards. The album includes guest appearances from SN1 members Joe Grind, Gunna, Kyze and Gunna D, among others. Production was handled by frequent in-house producers Boom Productions, Bayoz Muzik and others. Walk in da Park incorporates British hip hop with road rap and gangsta rap alongside aggressive flows and production.

The album entered the UK R&B Chart at number 13 and number 9 on the UK Independent Chart, selling thousands of independently-pressed copies and selling out in music stores.[2][3]Walk in da Park was positively received by music critics.[citation needed]

Since its initial release, Walk in da Park has been recognised as an influential release for British hip hop, spawning the subgenre of road rap while introducing slower flows that contrasted the fast-paced grime flows that were significantly popular at the time.

Background[edit]

In 2007, Giggs released the song 'Montague', leading to increased buzz for Giggs and his music. This was followed up by 'Talkin' da Hardest', a freestyle over Stat Quo's song 'Here We Go', produced by Dr. Dre.[4] The freestyle and its music video proved to be an underground success and became a British rap cult classic. However, neither song were included in the track listing of the album. According to Giggs, Walk in da Park was recorded and completed within two weeks.

Giggs released a video for the song 'Uummm!!' for promotion before the album was released, however MTV Base refused to play the video due to claims that the content was too strong for their channel. Radio channels also banned Giggs' music from airplay.[5] In response to the bans, Giggs retracted his video application and wrote the tune 'The Last Straw' directed towards the bad treatment he received from MTV Base and BBC Radio 1Xtra. When asked about the issue he said he was asked to censor 'drug references' from the song, despite none being made.

DJs such as Tim Westwood are known to hold this album in high regard, despite Giggs being blacklisted from BBC 1Xtra.

The underground success of the album led to Giggs signing to XL Recordings, and the release of his sophomore album Let Em Ave It (2010).
