About — The artist
Jason Neville "Nathaniel" Thompson (born 11 May 1981), known professionally as Giggs, is a British rapper from Peckham, London. He self-released his debut studio album Walk in da Park (2008), and signed with Takeover Entertainment to release its follow-up Let Em Ave It (2009).
Giggs' third studio album When Will It Stop (2013), was followed by his fourth album Landlord (2016), which entered and peaked at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart – becoming the highest-charting album of his career, tied with his mixtape Wamp 2 Dem (2017), which also debuted at No. 2. It was followed by his fifth album, Now or Never (2020). Giggs is also the frontman and founder of record label and rap collective SN1 (Spare No 1), which includes Gunna Dee, Joe Grind, Kyze and Tiny Boost.
While often referred to as a grime MC, Giggs has repeatedly stated the music he makes is not grime, but rather falls under the UK rap umbrella.
