I say he's one of the most influential emcees to come out of the UK in a long time
0:05
And I say it because he got his own distinguishable voice. He got his own style
0:10
He got his own tone. We starting to see that impact us here in the States
0:14
Give this man a round of applause, Torch. I got to show this man a lot of respect
0:20
He comes from the same corner of hip hop that we come from. Starting off as DJs and emcees
0:27
He's multifaceted. Give that man a round of applause. If I'm not mistaken, if I'm not mistaken, I could be mistaken
0:35
He could correct me if I am. You own his own. I'm not mistaken, right
0:41
Okay. I'm not mistaken, man. Own his own radio station. Am I mistaken
0:46
No. Come on. This man did it, man. From the days of walking the park
0:54
I remember when it first came out. I was like, well, who is this kid? Dizzy Rascal is my homie
0:59
He puts me up on game. Me and Dizzy done hit the streets together
1:06
That's my link to the UK. Haven't talked to Dizzy in a while, so I got to talk to him
1:10
But I want to say this man is someone I've been just watching eagerly
1:15
watching his career, watching his life, watching him through his career face adversities and work through them
1:23
And when you go back to Walk in the Park, when that came out, what year was that
1:28
2008. 2008 to now is 2023. That's 15 years. You don't last 15 years if you don't have something to offer
1:39
Okay? It doesn't. People don't care about you for 15 years if you don't have no substance in what you're doing
1:45
if you're not influencing people one way or the other. We know you got a background coming from Peckham, London
1:51
Peckham, stand up. Peckham, stand up. And so all those people who came up like you across the world and face similar adversities and see you shining when you standing next to people like Chris Brown
2:07
Give them a round of applause for that. Are you seeing them standing next to people like Diddy
2:12
Are you seeing them collaborating with Drake? Are you seeing them get down on songs with Jadakiss
2:19
Come on, man. Top five. Or Swiss Beasts. Come on, man. That's sweet
2:23
Yes. You know what I'm saying? Oh, me. Oh, yeah. You can see him on Sway in the morning

3:08
All right. Today we're going to interview. But see, this is what I understand
3:13
This is what I feel about you is that you're a student of the game
3:17
100%. Right? So you started off DJing first? Well. even before that okay man used to like because you see that in london yeah like them early hip-hop
3:31
like all we had we didn't have no all we had was your own tv raps okay okay it used to come on
3:37
every day like i remember the the ed lover and the todd one yeah and um dr trey yeah yeah then
3:44
the fab five fredden saturday the three hour thing that man used to watch that every day and record
3:50
that on vcr like every day just recording recording record like mad videos and stuff like you know i
3:56
mean then then it was the dj because i was like london's like we're like dancehall and that's right
4:02
yeah you can read that caribbean background right yeah okay yeah yeah so like i used to dj like hip
4:08
hop and dancehall like do you know what i'm saying then fast then it then it changed in it from vinyl
4:14
to CD. Even that was a mad transition. You know, like the CD thing
4:20
I ain't mixing the CD. You wasn't rocking with the CDJs? Nah
4:23
do you know where it was, fam? Do you know how long it took me to get techniques, bro? That was expensive
4:28
bro. By the time I could afford them, then the CDs. Then the CDJs
4:32
I weren't ready. I'm trying to get my money. I'm safe for this
4:37
A new pair of techniques are about a thousand each. Not for the pair, just for one
4:41
Forget that. Even the needles. Remember needles Every time you gotta replace them
4:45
When you scratch it And your needle's gone In like a month Yikes
4:49
It is expensive to be a DJ Just for the upkeep It's a magic For the upkeep
4:53
You see like In the hood There only used to be One shop you could get needles from Techniques
4:58
And it used to be That's Buck's hood Woolly Road I used to have to go MCQ
5:04
You know MCQ That's where I used to get my needles That was the store These guys have been with you since then
5:09
Yeah he used to go to my school Buck Wow Nice Look at Buck, man
5:14
Look at Buck. He's got his arms folded. He look like a buck, too, right? Yo, that's it
5:22
So, man, so we all, what I find fascinating is how we're all, no matter what part of the world we're in
5:28
we're all having the same experience through hip-hop, bro. 100%. Yeah. Right
5:31
So while you watching your MTV raps, I'm watching your MTV raps the whole night
5:37
You know Heather B was the first really black person on MTV when she did Real World
5:42
Yeah. Back in the early 90s. I remember that. I remember that. No way. That's a lot
5:46
Yeah, that's a lot. That's a lot. That's crazy. They did a real world London
5:51
They did a real world London. Facts. I don't even remember that one. They did. Okay
5:56
All right. You sitting next to legends, kids. Come on, man. Basking it
6:00
That's how to be right there. So when did you, so who were the early artists that influenced your, like, because your style
6:07
to me is extremely signature and unique to you. You know, when I hear a Giggs record, I know it's Giggs voice
6:16
Right. I know it's your style. And who were those early influences for you coming up, like, as an emcee
6:24
That's what I'm saying. We're going way back. I'm ready, man. Come on
6:27
You want to play? I got it. I don't know. I can't like KRS
6:34
Even Big Daddy Kane. All of that. I can see that. Wow
6:38
Flipping all the way to when it was that flavor unit. And then after I heard NWA, it was a rap
6:48
That was it? NWA? That's the first time, because that's what I'm saying
6:52
I used to only hear music on MTV raps. So remember them times, mine would make a whole version
6:59
a whole different version with no swearing. Yeah. The tracks. That's right, the radio editing
7:03
The TV editing. It's a whole different track. You know what I'm saying
7:08
So then one day I went to my uncle's and he was playing straight out Compton, but the
7:14
raw one. That's the first time I ever heard swearing. We say swearing, not cursing
7:19
We're interchangeable here. That the first time I heard swearing on music I like oh this is crap These times I a kid Yeah And then that was it after I heard that That was it So how old is hip in the UK
7:35
Because obviously we're celebrating 50 years over here in the States. But how many years
7:40
would you say the UK is celebrating of hip-hop? It's the same
7:43
The same. That's what I'm saying. The MTV Raps kept us. That was like our..
7:47
But hip-hop traveled in the 70s? Yeah. Immediately. When you think about
7:51
Houdini and all of those groups, because I was going to say the gigs, like being out on the road with KRS-One early
7:57
in the Boogie Down production days. You knew she was in Boogie Down production with KRS-One
8:01
Is it Boogie Down production? That's Heather B. I'm trying to tell you, Giggs. Stop playing
8:04
Giggs, this is different. No, but when I'm saying it, my point is
8:08
don't listen to him. That's the first place I went. We went to London, the UK
8:13
And I couldn't believe it. I didn't understand how it made it all the way there
8:19
Like, those were the first. But you know, it's funny, because London is proper dancehall
8:23
like so KRS-Wong that was the first guy that resonated to man
8:29
you know like cause the dance you know when I'm you know what I'm saying
8:34
when I first heard that I'm like oh shit come to the teacher come to the teacher
8:38
come to the teacher you know what I'm saying it was like dance all hip hop so
8:42
you know what I'm saying I got it now okay cause I never understood
8:46
why he would try he we went there first I didn't understand
8:49
the entertainment album that came out that was the first stop on the tour
8:53
and the lines were wrapped around the corner. It was rocking everywhere
8:58
Like, all these different places and I couldn't believe how the music here
9:03
had translated. They knew every single word. Every word. Anyone who's doing
9:07
that, like, hip-hop and it's got, like, this splash of, like, Jamaica and, like
9:12
that's, like, even Boston. You know what I'm saying? Boston sings always
9:16
the yard. Boston Rhymes. He had that. That was the streets anthem
9:21
Right. Got you. You know what I'm saying? Got you. Makes sense. Who was the, would you say, the UK artist
9:30
that kind of made you start looking at UK artists as inspiration
9:35
Who was that first artist? I'd have to say Dizzy. Dizzy Rascal. Ah, yep
9:39
I'd have to say. Even before, that was at So Solid kind of times as well
9:47
You heard of So Solid? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, So Solid. They were doing it big in the thing
9:52
But like Dizzy His thing was cold I was like This is cold
9:57
Dizzy Rascal You know what I'm saying I like that Come on man
10:01
Dizzy's something He's legendary If I'm honest Dizzy Like he's one of them ones
10:05
That made me think I'm gonna do this music thing Like You know what I'm saying He's the one that made you
10:10
Just really Not exactly If I'm honest He's one of them That's that
10:15
He's like Dizzy Master P Like You know what I'm saying So yeah
10:20
Yeah man man gigs is here man get his dude a round of applause we i met you with walk in the park
10:28
and now we're to zero tolerance right and i want to talk about zero tolerance but i'm curious to you
10:34
um now or never uh let them have it all of these different projects what what's for you has been
10:41
your favorite body of work today yeah i can't really it's all different times that
10:49
that man's been through a lot of them like so even like people think oh that never even happened
10:57
that's a lie like so in like all of them projects crazy things have happened you know i'm saying
11:03
like when i made walking apart i'm heavy in the streets that yeah a couple projects forward like
11:10
um when sorry when will it stop that's when i just came out of jail like i went back to jail
11:17
and then came out made win with it then I don't know
11:21
now or never that might have been in COVID you know what I'm saying everything's different everything got a whole story
11:26
to it you know what I'm saying so yeah but right now zero tolerance easy yeah
11:31
this is your favorite this is right now because I mean I feel like you had a point
11:35
you don't have you just it seemed like you had a free park point
11:40
in your career like you have a lot of freedom to do what you want to do people yeah
11:45
people respect you all over the world right? Where do you see
11:50
yourself right now as an artist? I don't know man this project is more like
11:57
it just feels like it's just about music do you know what I'm saying? before I've done all of the
12:03
running around trying to do this competing with that showing this person what time it is
12:09
I don't feel like that with this one this one's just straight music
12:13
It's one of them ones If you don't like it I don't even care Cool
12:17
I love having it That's freedom That's real freedom That's the energy
12:21
That's the real freedom right? Facts Tracy You know Giggs It's funny that you're here
12:26
The perfect timing Because over the weekend When I was hanging out With some friends And we got into a conversation
12:31
About our favorite Drake album And I said More Life That has been my favorite Drake album
12:36
And you're a big reason why Because of KMC And no long talk
12:41
So my first question is how much did that project increase your attention here in the states and also how much credit do you
12:52
give to a lot of the UK thespians the actors who are killing it here in terms of the you know just
13:00
United States folks being more open to those overseas thinking about a Danielle Klua thinking
13:05
about um Damson Idris Idris Elba but starting off with Drake what was the influence of that project
13:12
on your United States fan base? Well, obviously it was ringing off
13:17
last Drake, innit? You know what I'm saying? But them times, I still couldn't come here, so
13:22
You were still forbidden to come to the States. I didn't really, but now I'm here
13:29
because I'm not going to lie, when I came, I was thinking, if someone says
13:33
right, gigs, I'd be like, all right, you know men's ting, you get me? I'd be shocked. It's crazy, right
13:38
You don't know me here. But some people would be like, yeah, when this KMT came out
13:43
this was my favorite shit. Hell yeah. You know what I'm saying? So I'm like, bro, I wish I could have saw that
13:49
So I ain't got no idea, if I'm honest. Oh, so it hit you as a surprise
13:53
No, as a surprise, but I just didn't get to see or witness or feel
13:57
how that was ringing off. Do you know what I'm saying? You get me
14:01
And then what about when it comes to those actors? Some of the humongous names
14:06
are from overseas, like the Daniel Kaluuya. Do you guys have like friendships too
14:10
Yeah, no, that's the man then. Where? Like, see, like, Kalia, that's Bucks
14:16
Y'all got DSS, right? Yeah. Yo, I'm trying to join DSS, yo
14:21
Am I dark enough? What do you mean am I dark enough? What kind of racist
14:27
I'm the only person I can make a joke like that. You know what DSS is
14:31
But how many crews you trying to be in? Like, I feel like everybody that come here, you say you're a part of their thing
14:37
Where's your loyalty? I'm part of this gig. We text each other
14:41
Now, but DSS, that's a... Break that down, what that is. That's a dark-skinned society

18:25
house and garage, you know what I'm saying that's our that's our melting pot of music

18:52
so grime is kind of on the decline in the uk unfortunately but i was wondering where you

see the future of it now that most people are focusing more on on uk hip-hop rather than uk
19:00
grime um yeah to be honest like well i mean like the grime thing people like will be like yeah
19:11
Grime's dead Is Grime dead I think like When you like Make

19:21
People start saying Oh is it dead Is it dead But if you make a banger
19:24

If he was like Alabama. Alabama joint. I feel. But look, I gotta say this
35:14
It's so funny you say that. Because when they promoted that movie, I don't think they promoted it right
35:19
They was talking about the close and the time period. They weren't talking about the story
35:24
And the bigger thing is, like you say, in your life, anybody that's in this business
35:29
if you watch that movie, it's a blueprint to what the is going to go on. Wow
35:34
Even like the options. There's one where he says, five one-year options
35:39
I used to watch that as a kid I always used to think what's these five one year options
35:44
when I got in the business and I got older I'm watching it
35:47
it's like five five albums you know five one year options you know what I'm saying
35:52
people got killed in that movie and you look at the industry it's not that far off

The last time I asked to be in somebody's video, I got so disrespected. But it was for a reason
41:09
It was the Chappelle Show was hot. Ludacris was going. And he gave me a lesson. Walking through the airport

They're supposed to, right? I'm going to answer you again. What? Black people. She don't clean their chickens
42:40
He's lying. Clean chicken. She don't clean their chicken. This is what he uses
42:44
This is like live gigs. So every year or so, he and I have a cook-off, right
42:53
He gets mad that he loses by a landslide. Every year. And so he tells people I get him drunk
43:00
He tells people I get him drunk so he can lose or I don't clean my chicken, don't eat a fool
43:06
This is the tactics that he uses when he loses. No one ain't going to eat a chicken
43:13
She got me drunk. They ate it anyway. I didn't know he was having a contest
43:18
He started a rumor. She started getting me drunk, you know. I'm getting lit

43:31
No, he was eating bologna sandwiches. She always wins, bro. He was eating the foul mockery
