Giggs has just released a new single titled ‘Gorgeous’, produced by the former bassist for Paramore, Jeremy Davis.
The track sees Giggs employ his slow flow over a banging, dark trap beat, produced by Jeremy Davis, going by his producer alias JERMbeats. The celebratory, confident character of the track is captured by some punchy lyrics, like “Baddies in my car look gorgeous / And we’re goin’ my yard, big fortress” and “Your ni**a just got smoked, was it worth it? These ni***s are jokes, Eddie Murphy”.
His cadence on the menacing beat may remind fans of his older work over slower trap instrumentals, like “Uummm!!!” from his debut album, ‘Walk In Da Park’.
The track comes a month after the London legend dropped ‘11th May’, an introspective, pensive number where he reflected on his rise to fame and the environment around him.
In a press release, Giggs compared the difference between the two new songs: “‘11th May’ was me out with the kids and the dog,” he said. “And then ‘Gorgeous’ is the night after when I’ve dropped the kids off at their mums and I’m ready for a few drinks.”
The recent drops of singles will have fans wording if a full-length release is coming soon. Giggs’ last album was ‘Zero Tolerance’, his sixth LP that came out in 2023. The project featured collaborations with the likes of Popcaan, Jadakiss, 21 Savage, Dave, Potter Payper, Tiny Boost and more.
It’s also been confirmed that Giggs will appear on hip-hop icon Slick Rick’s upcoming record – his first album in 25 years. Coming on June 13, the British-born NY rapper has promised that the project will showcase “British artistry at its finest”, also featuring Idris Elba and Estelle.
Giggs recently performed for Due North, an event curated by END., THE FACE and Stone Island, a brand that the Peckham performer has been seen wearing regularly. Taking place at Manchester venue Hidden, he also brought his son ML to play a set, as he’s taken after his father by following him into rap music.
Later this summer, the ‘Talkin’ da Hardest’ rapper is set to take to the stage at Somerset House for his Giggs & Family event – you can find details for that here.
