“One of the most original & in your face performers of our generation, with an unparalleled live show that is bursting with energy.
From the hilarious Freestyle’s, self deprocating humour and witty banter to the incredible flows, heady word play & mosh pits, Stig Of The Dump’s live show encompasses Hip Hop, Rock & Dubstep, all wrapped up with a punk ethic & no holds barred delivery. Fuck You Music at it’s very best” – Andy Newman (MusicManReview)………………………………………………………..
Straight out of the place in your head that filters out the bad things, Stig of the Dump’s arrival to the UK scene is unprecedented, smashing stages with his frank and crude take on the world around him;2xWorld EOW Challenge Champion of Champions, 2xUK EOW Challenge Champion, UK Battlescars Champion, Jump Off Tag Team Champion and with over 800,000 views of his notorious annihilation of So Solid’s Asher D, (the initial video being re uploaded with improved sound after 500k) Stig is an artist with a huge reputation for no holds barred delivery.
Unafraid of saying the things you wish you could say, Stig is far from just a battle MC, proving his worth on tracks with his critically acclaimed HOMELESS MICROPHONIST EP, which from the day of its release was the number 1 seller on the UK’s biggest Hip Hop mail order site (www.Suspect-Packages.com) until it sold out. Stig then followed up it’s success with his highly anticipated BRAINDEAD 12″ ft. US Indie legend RA The Rugged Man, receiving single of the month in Hip Hop Connection, IDJ & DJ Magazine.
Not simply a master of the spoken word, Stig has also written for the likes of The Guardian,Front, ZOO, One Week To Live, Music Week, Hip Hop Connection and continues to write forHHC Digital.
After signing to legendary UK independent Lewis Recordings, Stig immediately released his digital single “I Got Game”. Taken from the subsequently released Mood Swings LP, both received huge support from the likes of BBC Radio1 & 1xtra‘s Charlie Sloth & Mista Jam,Conspiracy Radio, DigginInTheCrates & many other domestic & international online & FM radio as well as fans, blogs & critics a like. Subsequently he has gone on to release a series of FREE giveaways including Stig Of The Dubs (a series of Dubstep dubs/bootlegs) which received support from many of the original Artists & within months of their release saw him performing alongside some of Dubstep’s biggest names including BareNoize.
With a unique style, in a world of sound alikes and clones, Stig is a leader of innovative and original ideas, his own personal brand of self deprecating humour, witty observations and off key subject matter, providing a much needed antidote to the bling addled thuggery infesting the genre today. Cited as none other than Robbie Williams’ favourite rapper, Stig shows an ability to cross over while still maintaining his underground appeal. Vehemently proven by his recent feature on the remix of “Charge” by Akon signing Sway. The b side feature being given heavy rotation on Radio 1 by the likes of Mista Jam & Zane Lowe. Stig approached his guest verse by displaying his ability to switch up his style, delivering a blistering triple time verse that shows he has all aspects of the craft locked.
His latest release “CANNON FODDER“; a 5 track, Pete Cannon produced EP complete with incredible hand drawn artwork by competition winner Bukioe, shows Stig making his return to the straight up Hip Hop bangers he is known for. With the lead single “They“ released earlier in the year, accompanied by the video featuring Stig’s favourite artist Alex Young & the pre release giveaway & video - “The Truth Is“, Cannon Fodder has already gone on to outsell his previous releases & indeed many other more established artists on the same distribution network.
Stig’s effortless dexterity see’s him able to jump genres from straight up Hip Hop to Dubstep, Grime, Drum & Bass & Hardcore Rock, with pending collaborations with many legendary Dubstep names as well as a Jehst produced Hip Hop LP & collaborations with EatGood’sSonnyJim & LDZ’s Dabbla, not to mention fronting BBC Introducing’s one to watch “The Foot Clan“, things are definitely looking “MAN SIZE” for the future.
