19 Jul Giggs – Let ‘Em Ave It | Album Review

Hip Hop in America has no qualms about pushing/pimping Gangsta Rap to its mainstream - in the UK, however, it’s a different matter. Various government organisations and politicians have been vocal and proactive in their attempts to censor gratuitous music from flooding the charts - which makes for a very interesting scenario as the UK’s answer to Mobb Deep and Jeezy launches his album to the masses... Giggs’ metaphoric rise has been a bumpy one; whilst his maniacal raps and gutter production have created a buzz which any bigshot American rapper would be proud of, rumours of censorship within various industries have been rife; something the south London rapper has been very vocal about. Nevertheless, the SN1 General lets us have it. Just how it resonates with the public remains to be seen.
