Giggs Essentials

Giggs Essentials

In the skittering, tongue-twisting world of grime, South London MC Nathaniel Thompson makes the case for an unhurried flow and a playful, piercing sensibility. Which is not to say that the prolific de facto leader of Peckham's SN1 (‘Spare No 1') ducks the difficult realities of street life—especially on venomous early cut “Rat-A-Tat-Tat”—but rather that he's able to cultivate ambling, teasing rhyme patterns that feel truly inimitable. Put him aboard a bubbling electro beat (“BABY”) or on a Southern hip hop homage (“Peligro” with Dave) and Giggs always raps with the audible grin of a man loving every minute.
