  • Giggs, En Af Tidens Største Rappere I UK, Kommer Til Amager Bio
    2019-08-27 11:00 CEST Giggs, en af tidens største rappere i UK, kommer til Amager Bio GIGGS LØRDAG 16. NOVEMBER 2019 AMAGER BIO Giggs, en af tidens største rappere i UK, er klar til at vælte Amager Bio. ’Lock Doh’, ’Whippin Excursion’ og ’Linguo’ er bare nogle få af de gigantiske bangers som Giggs har udgivet siden han tog sin popularitet til et nyt niveau i 2016. De tunge, men legesyge toner fra Giggs er uhyggeligt vanedannede og umulige ikke at overgive sig til. Det er ikke for sjov at han bliver omtalt som The Originator, The Godfather og The Landlord i det britiske hip-hop-miljø. Med sit genkendelige flow har Giggs udgivet flere succesfulde albumms, bl.a. ’Landlord’ (2016) og ’Wamp 2 Dem’ (2017) som gik direkte ind som #2 på albumlisterne i UK. Dermed cementerede han endnu en gang hans status som en af de mest indflydelsesrige og betydningsfulde rappere, der nogensinde er dukket op i London. Den britiske hitmager har været en af de største spillere på den britiske rapscene i et årti og har bibeholdt sin intensitet og autenticitet hele vejen. Tidligere i år udgav han albummet ’BIG BAD…’ som var spækket med vilde bars, tunge beats og sprøde features fra artister som French Montana, Jadakiss og Lil’ Yachty. Med tidligere collaborations med artister som Stormzy, 2 Chainz, Young Thug og ikke mindst Drake må man sige at Giggs har et CV der er svært at matche for størstedelen af de andre rappere på UK-scenen. Sidst Giggs besøgte Danmark var i DR Koncerthuset, Studie 2, hvor han leverede en intens hip-hop fest.

  • Grime: Criminal Subculture Or Public Counterculture?
    CMC0010.1177/1741659018784111Crime, Media, CultureFatsis 784111research-article2018 Article Crime Media Culture 1 –15 Grime: Criminal subculture © The Author(s) 2018 Reprints and permissions: or public counterculture? A sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav https://doi.org/10.1177/1741659018784111DOI: 10.1177/1741659018784111 critical investigation into the journals.sagepub.com/home/cmc criminalization of Black musical subcultures in the UK Lambros Fatsis University of Southampton, UK Abstract This article sets out to (re-)introduce Black urban musical subcultures as valuable forms of creativity and public expression in an attempt to resist, criticize and expose their criminalization by the London Metropolitan Police. Focusing primarily on grime, a host of unfair and illegitimate practices adopted by the London Metropolitan Police will be discussed. This will demonstrate how the routine monitoring, surveillance and curtailment of Black people’s public identity (re)produces stereotypical associations of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups with violent, criminal and problematic behaviour. In order to challenge openly discriminatory attitudes towards Black urban cultural forms by the police, a counterargument which calls for their understanding as viable sources of positive and constructive public engagement will be offered. Keywords Cultural criminology, grime, policing, race and crime, youth subcultures Hip hop and rap1 have historically been met with a considerable degree of suspicion in the US (Baker, 1995; Bridgewater et al., 2015; Cummings, 2012; Kubrin, 2005; Kubrin and Nielson, 2014; Quinn, 2005; Rose, 1994; Tatum, 1999), often seen as outward manifestations of an ‘out- law culture’ (hooks, 1994) that is perceived as dangerous, if not outrightly criminal. In the UK, the situation has not been radically different, especially in recent years, although scant attention has been afforded to the issue by the relevant literature, notable exceptions notwithstanding (Barron, 2013; Bramwell, 2015a; Ilan, 2012, 2014; Talbot, 2011).

  • GRIMEHELTEN GIGGS TIL OSLO! N Av Grime-Scenens Største Er Klar for Oslo Og Parkteatret! 15
    21-02-2018 10:11 CET GRIMEHELTEN GIGGS TIL OSLO! n av grime-scenens største er klar for Oslo og Parkteatret! 15. april får vi besøk av sør-Londons innflytelsesrike rapikon Giggs, og billettene er i salg via Ticketmaster nå. Billetter i salg fredag 23. februar kl. 10.00. I tiåret som har gått siden albumdebuten «Talkin’ Da Hardest», har Giggs’ distinkte flow og kreative ordlek gitt ham en dedikert og stadig økende fanskare. Høsten 2016 slapp han sin fjerde plate «Landlord», en fullstendig kompromissløs utgivelse på hans eget selskap SN1. Den gikk rett til #2 på den britiske albumlista og ble med det hans høyest plasserte noensinne. Med gjester som Stormzy, Dubz, Donae’o og mange fler, kombinerte albumet Giggs’ karakteristiske, tilbakelente flow med frekk humor og høyst originale rytmer. «Landlord» fikk en strålende mottakelse og ga den allerede prisbelønte rapperen flere utmerkelser og nominasjoner, blant dem Rated-pris som årets artist og MOBO-nominasjoner for beste album og beste hip hop-artist. En rekke gjesteopptredener har fulgt siden, deriblant på anthemet «KMT» og ytterligere et spor fra fjorårets Drake-utgivelse «More Life», og med det økt oppmerksomhet også fra den andre siden av Atlanteren. I høst kom mikstapen «Wamp 2 Dem» med vers fra blant andre 2 Chainz, Young Thug, Dave, Popcaan og Donae’o. Selv om den også var tilgjengelig for gratis nedlasting på Giggs’ hjemmeside, tangerte tapen «Landlord»s salgslisterekord og gikk inn på andreplass i UK. Nå gleder vi oss stort til å se Giggs på scenen i Oslo! Live Nation Norge er landets største konsertarrangør.
