Giggs shares new double single ‘Differences’ and ‘Innocent’ – listen
Brooklyn rapper Rowdy Rebel joins Giggs for 'Differences'
Giggs has shared a double single, ‘Differences’ and ‘Innocent’, with two accompanying music videos.
They mark the rapper’s first new material since his ‘Now Or Never’ mixtape, which was released in November 2020. ‘Differences’ features a guest turn by Brooklyn rapper Rowdy Rebel.

There has been no news of a new album, mixtape nor EP with the double single release.
The London rapper has kept busy since ‘Now Or Never’, with collaborations ranging from Meek Mill (for ‘Northside Southside’) to Ray BLK (‘Games’) and Ghetts (‘Crud’).
In March he shared a new ‘Daily Duppy’ freestyle in which he made nods to Marvel and retro superhero characters to get his points across.
Opening the track, Giggs rapped: “The liveliest member, I’m live in the centre/ Rising Avenger/ Riding around, hiding a blender/ These guys are corona, I’m nice with the cleanser/ Quite an agenda/ Was gone till November/ I light up December/ I’m sending these texts she likes me to send her/ She likes me, I’m sexy, I like when it’s tender.”
Last week he made a surprise appearance at Ghetts’ London’s Roundhouse show along with Stormzy, Kano, Dizzee Rascal, Pa Salieu, Emeli Sandé, Backroad Gee, Shakka, Jaykae, Suspect, Aida Lee, and Prince Jaaken.
In other news, last year Giggs and JME‘s 2015 song ‘Man Don’t Care’ was used by comedian Munya Chawawa in a parody clip urging people to wear face masks in public amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
“I got a black face mask but I don’t sneeze/ But I wear one in case a policeman sees,” began Chawawa, rapping under the moniker JM(PP)E. “If one of you cough near me/ You better cover your mouth with a clean hanky.”
Later on the track, Chawawa turned his attention to Giggs, rapping under the moniker COVIGGS. “Have you got a mask?” COVIGGS asked. “Man’s been wearing all that/ I just gotta ask, germs everywhere and all that.”
