<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Giggs sits down with Mr. Shabz for an in-depth interview about his journey in the music industry so far and delves into his sound and persona&#8217;s background. The one hour and twenty-seven-minute interview also explores what he thinks about his critics, ongoing disputes, his early mixtapes and reminisces on the good time in his ends. </span></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Talking about his expression through his music, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qG3kf_TuN0&amp;t=120s">Giggs said: </a><em>&#8220;It&#8217;s always been music bruv, through everything… through music and that, if man can bring people together as well, you know what I&#8217;m saying?&#8221;    </em></span></p>
<p><em><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Mr Shabz reflects on his friendship with Giggs and how they share the common experience of being Dads. Giggs jokingly<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qG3kf_TuN0&amp;t=120s"> said</a>: &#8220;No ones calling me Giggs in my house, it&#8217;s dad, daddy or my name. I might forget I&#8217;m Giggs.&#8221; </span></em></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Most recently, Giggs featured on the track &#8216;<em>Games&#8217;</em> by Ray BLK, which was released last month and also shared a &#8216;Daily Duppy&#8217; freestyle. Opening the freestyle, he rapped: &#8220;Opening the track, Giggs raps: &#8220;</span><em><span data-preserver-spaces="true">The liveliest member, I&#8217;m live in the centre/ Rising Avenger/ Riding around, hiding a blender/ These guys are corona, I&#8217;m nice with the cleanser/ Quite an agenda/ Was gone till November/ I light up December/I&#8217;m sending these texts she likes me to send her/ She likes me, I&#8217;m sexy, I like when it&#8217;s tender.&#8221;</span></em></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">The Peckham rapper, released his debut studio album <em>&#8216;Walk in da Park&#8217;</em> back in 2008. Following on from his debut album, the rapper has released five albums, with his fourth album <em>&#8216;Landlord&#8217;</em> reaching number two in the UK charts. In late 2020, the grime artist released a surprise mixtape called &#8216;</span><em><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Now or Never</span></em><span data-preserver-spaces="true">.&#8217; It consisted of 16 tracks, with features including Dave, Jorja Smith, A Boogie wit da Hoodie, Kyze, Aystar, Tiny Boost, DeMarco, Obongjayar and Emeli Sandé.
