Stig Of The Dump 
Finally, after a staggering wait - the brand new album from Stig Of The Dump - Mood Swings - will be available from October 11, 2010. And if you are expecting an album of insane wordplay, unparalleled delivery and ferocious production - you will not be disappointed in the slightest. Right from the Doug Stanhope sampled opener the tone of the album is set, a brutally honest collection of songs from a truly original lyricist. Aptly named, 'Mood Swings' takes you on a journey, a journey encompassing hilarity, tragedy, angst, bravado and above all else a message of uncompromising individualism. From the classic dusty breaks of "Back" to the celebrity lambasting 'Planet Hollywood' or the tongue in cheek strip club banger "Give It Up", Stig takes not-giving-a-fuck to a level entirely unfathomed before. However, far from just an album full of boozy attitude, time is taken out between his sardonic observations to show true diversity. Be it the introspective and inspirational 'Whats Up (25/8)', the anthemic anger driven 'Hater' and it's rock addled live version 'Hardcore Hater', the angst fuelled 'Wind The Clock' or the intricately weaved imagery of 'Big City Blues'. The album is consistently fervent, and undeniably passionate throughout. Guest production from one of the country's biggest talents - Jehst - on 'Who's That Muddy Funkster' is the icing on the cake, with cuts from DJ Manipulate, this is a banger of epic proportions and a collabo dreamt up in the mind of home grown fans everywhere. If all of the above isn't enough, the massive previously released singles 'Intoxicated' and 'Braindead' featuring R.A the Rugged Man are also included on this incredible project. The name alone holds weight enough for this to be in stereo's, iPods and club systems nationwide, but both lyrically and musically, this album stands strong. About Stig Straight out of that 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. World EOW Challenge Champion, UK EOW Challenge Champion of Champions, UK Battlescars Champion, Jump Off Tag Team Champion and with over 500,000 views of his notorious annihilation of So Solid's Asher D, Stig is an artist with a huge reputation for no holds barred delivery. Not afraid 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, FHM, ZOO, One Week To Live, Music Week, Hip Hop Connection and continues to write for HHC Digital. 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 and with Paul Heaton of Beautiful South & House Martins fame as a notable fan, 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.
