Today, we celebrate the 40th birthday of one of the UK's most successful and influential rappers, Nathaniel Thompson, better known as Giggs/Hollowman. Born in Peckham, London, Giggs has been active in the music industry since the mid-2000s, when he released one of his most notable mixtapes, "Hollowman Meets Blade".
Giggs' debut studio album, "Walk in the Park", was released in 2008 and was met with critical acclaim. Since then, he has released several successful albums and mixtapes, including "Landlord" in 2016, which charted at no. 2 in the UK albums chart, the highest charting album of his career.
Although he has dabbled in grime, Giggs primarily makes road rap, and his music is often praised for its raw emotion and honesty which has earned him a loyal fanbase over the years. His most successful song is 2007's "Talkin' The Hardest", often referred to as the unofficial national anthem of the UK.
Giggs' stage name is derived from his childhood nickname of Giggler, which is a testament to his fun-loving personality. Over the years, he has won several awards, including a MOBO and a BET award, which is a testament to his talent and hard work.
As Giggs turns 40 today, we celebrate his talent and his contributions to the music industry and the impact he has had on the UK scene. His unique sound and style have inspired many artists and young people such as myself, and his music continues to resonate with fans around the world.
Happy birthday, Giggs! Here's to many more years of success and great music.
