Album Description
Available in:
Landlord is the fourth studio album by English rapper Giggs. It was released on 5 August 2016 independently through SN1 Records. It succeeds Giggs's third album When Will It Stop (2013) and after parting with XL Recordings. The album features guest appearances from Stormzy, Donae'o, Youngs Teflon, CASisDEAD, among others. Production derives from frequent collaborator Boom Productions, Swifta Beater, Charlie Sloth, Danny Boom, Scott Styles, Smasher and Wizzy Wow.
The album was supported by two singles: "Whippin' Excursion" and "Lock Doh" featuring Donae'o.
Landlord received positive reviews from critics and peaked at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart, becoming Giggs's highest-charting and most successful album to date.
Background
Giggs's third album, When Will It Stop was released in October 2013 and peaked at number 21 on the UK Albums Chart, becoming his highest-charting album at the time. The following two years saw Giggs releasing no solo material but making numerous guest appearances on high-profile songs; such as "Man Don't Care" with Jme and "3 Wheel Ups" with Kano.
In June 2016, Giggs announced the release date of the album through a teaser video posted on social media. The track list was unveiled the following month. According to an interview with Tim Westwood, Landlord was recorded in a broken period of two weeks, with the intention of releasing it to match the release date of his debut album, Walk in da Park (2008). It was completed without the intention of releasing an album, Westwood stating: "I went to the studio and did three songs at the same time, starting one, stopping and going to another, doing all three of them at once. Then when they was finished I was like “Rah, this is sounding like some album shit.” And then I went to studio the next day and made ‘Whippin Excursion.’ That week I made like six bangers."
User Album Review
Giggs isn’t the best rapper - his flow is an ooze. He’s never surpassed 2007’s Talkin’ da Hardest, and he’s lost his record deal. Somehow, though, Landlord is fantastic, crafted, big-stage trap with the lissom, conversational feel of a mixtape. The clever use of features offsets that lugubrious voice with a pleasing range of articulate rappers; and the beats intelligently mix intimacy and claustrophobia, making Giggs’s grownup rhymes more authoritative than ever. Drake-aping Of Course is more drizzly than Drizzy, but adds light to the usual shady south London bad-boy bars of bangers Lock Doh and Whippin Excursion. “They call me the landlord / Come and get your keys cut,” he gruffs, and it’s fabulously half-hilarious, half-terrifying.
