R.I.P Trigger

Generally, Brits making Rap music fills me with the same weirdly-conflicted sense of pity that I feel when watching the Paralympic games. Fair play, though, because I do have a bit of a soft spot for Giggs since his trademark wooden flow is a glimpse into what woulda happened if Paul Barber had been cast as Trigger instead of Denzil in Only Fools And Horses.

"Alright, Dave?"


As an occasional Giggs fan, ya host was stoked when the tagless version of Monsta Man finally turned up as a bonus track on the deluxe version of his third album last year. Pretty apt that Giggs has described Monsta Man as "that London bounce" because the song's priapic theme & 8-bit beats predate one of the biggest Baton Rogue anthems in a similar style of recent years: Lil' Cali & Mouse On Tha Track's Dat Dick.

Giggs - Monsta Man (no DJ)
(From When Will It Stop album; 2013)


Rest in peace to Roger Lloyd-Pack. You went out on a high with that Ruthless Records-to-Only Fools And Horses analogue Bradley & I came up with last year:

    Giggs is poor, nothing on the likes of Trim, Prez T, Wiley etc.
