“When this song came out eight years ago I was in the first year of secondary school. I remember listening to it in my youth on a Sony Ericsson on the way to school. At the time I was with my parents a lot, so my music influences were still heavily based around theirs.

“I would say for people growing up in my generation, when Giggs dropped that banger ‘Talking the Hardest’ it was a very big moment in the UK rap scene. It was a big change and it was the first hardcore rap song that went crazy here in the UK.

“He was the first UK rapper to be real. For me, it definitely changed how I approached my song writing, with his skill and the rawness of his raps. This made the list because I feel Giggs has created the scene for artists to be real."

“This song was from about nine years ago. Get Rich or Die Tryin' was the first album I ever bought and 'In Da Club' was the big single on there. I was in Year 6 at school and I remember taking it to the extreme, I went and got the game Bulletproof and I bought the clothing, I was a big 50 fan. The music video was epic as well, I thought he was like a machine, like he was half man-made.

“The reason why I liked 50 was because he was different. When this song came out the raps were way more melodic and much catchier from the usual. When I listened to American rap it would be people like Jim Jones or Styles P. Those guys were straight rappers and proper lyricists, whereas with 50 Cent, he came with those melodies and then with the raps on the verse.

“There was a structure and it was catchy. He made a big, big impact, he was like a breath of fresh air.”

“I met Tinie around the time that he dropped the Youth album. I’d just dropped ‘Fine Wine’ and ‘Shape of You’ when he dropped that album and I loved every tune off that, but ‘Something Special’ was one of my favourite tracks. It’s a good tune to play on a night out, when you get to wherever you’re going.

“It’s the lyrics as well. I think I was just going into the studio and making music when I heard it, but there’s something in this one, there’s something very special happening. It was a personal moment for me.”

“I like ‘Do Not Disturb’ because of the lyrics. If you take a look at all of the songs I’ve picked out, they’re all songs that you can learn from. When the artist is actually talking to the listeners, those are the songs that can guide you through life. They’re not just club songs, it’s everything in them; these are songs where it’s the details that make the difference.

“This song is definitely relatable to who I am. When you’re touring you miss home and you feel like you’re so far away from the people who care about you. This tune’s another song where you can learn from it, when he’s talking about his life and his experiences and people just being people. It’s the details that make it relatable.”

“A lot of Future’s songs are among my favourites, but with this one there’s something special in the second verse. I think that second verse is very sensitive and very honest of him - ‘Pretty as ever, I thank your momma for blessing me / Joking with your father because you're part of my embassy.’

"That’s the type of relationship you want to have with your Mum and your parents. It’s the fact that he can write that and how he’s able to express it in the way that he did. Even the tone he’s done it in, it’s a real feeling, it’s authentic, relatable and its real things talking to you.

“That’s something I like to speak to with my music to keep it real and relatable. When I’m writing I still like to drop a message, where maybe there would be one or two lines where you can take something from it. I just want people to connect.”
