Drunk, chubby, aggressive, homeless, and geordie. The perfect combination for a rapper.

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.

Stig’s effortless dexterity see’s him able to jump genres from straight up Hip Hop to Dubstep, Grime, Drum & Bass & Hardcore Rock, things are definitely looking “MAN SIZE” for the future."
