Giggs

“Every single CD I made, I'm in a different place.”

“I'm a thug and I rap.”

“People power is way more powerful than anything. The sooner everyone understands that, the better.”

“I'm making music 'cause I love music, not to get in the charts. That's the way I want things to be.”

“I've always been into music. I used to DJ. I used to mix reggae and that. I used to be into reggae hard. Well first it was rap, then reggae, then rap again, then rap and reggae. But I was always DJing out my window for the whole estate. Everyone used to sit outside and all and listen. And I used to be running rhythms in that.”

“I'm not really good with talking, I'm not really a talker.”

“Rick Ross is bigger to me than Dizzee Rascal. My music is more gangsta rap than anything English.”

“You have to have a name when you're young, I went through loads.”

“Me, I'm just such a fan of music. So if I like something, I'll just get obsessed!”

“It feels like there are more good youts out there following their dreams. It's not just music; they're doing loads of stuff - they are getting creative and doing mad out of the box stuff.”

“My mom's always worked a lot. Always.”

“A lot of people get signed then don't really care what the people want anymore. They're just thinking 'How am I going to make that hit?'”

“I try and show my son success, success, success, so that's all he'll ever know.”

“You never know when you're going to get parole. You might get knocked back, they might give you parole. That's like me trying to get into America. Are we going to let him in?”

“Yeah, Peckham's a mad place. Unpredictable. You don't know what's going to happen throughout the day or the night. Today in the morning everything's cool. In the afternoon you're in mad beef. It's just normal isn't it? It's cool for us.”

“Obviously it is good to think 'this year has been sick' but unfortunately we're human beings so we're always trying to strive for more.”

“I've got enough people hoping I'll fail that I need to be smart with my business.”

“The first NWA album is the first rap album I heard with swearing.”

“With me, I'm quite a shy bredda, so it's when I get to know someone - just like any shy person - you just open up more.”

“My whole life in the streets, I was taught not to answer questions and just keep my mouth shut.”
