Stigs
What started as an exploration of sound rapidly evolved into a desire to perfect the craft. Stigs has been producing and recording for over eight years. Although a West Coast native, Stigs has been heavily influenced by all musical genres, styles, and art forms. Stigs catalog stretches the horizons of gritty trap to timeless and radiant sampled 90s hip hop.
The first project that Stigs dropped was the instrumental album named the Looney Tunes LP in 2018, which focused on the early days of his production efforts while based in San Diego, CA. This project was considered a precursor to his newly developing sound at the time, and features a variety of synth based instruments and sample based flips.
Experiments with lyrics were later done which lead to the first real single drop with a vocal performance on the track Early, a fan favorite due to it's clever lyrics and catchy beat.
This single was promptly followed up by the 2020 single Hangtime, featuring a portrait of Stigs on the cover.
Continuing to push instrumentals, Stigs dropped his second instrumental album in 2020 named Easy Bake. This album featuring 11 instrumental tracks for easy listening during those "bake sessions"...if you know what we mean.
Later, influenced by the upcoming Detroit and Flint rap scene in February 2021, Stigs tried a different flow on the West Coast infused track What I Do. This song remains the most popular of the discography so far at over 10,000 streams.
Within 2021, Stigs linked up with frequent collaborator ReadyRockDee, where they had a successful four single run that later placed onto ReadyRockDee's debut album WARSIDE. Features included on this album also included Jae Skeese from the DrumWork Music label, seen on the track Man of Honor.
The streak doesn't stop there, as Stigs continued to drop singles to keep the discography flowing. Starting with a tease from an upcoming instrumental album release that has not yet been publicly announced, the single Fresh Water appeared on streaming platforms in February 2022. The artwork for this particular single also amassed popularity, and is available on the Jackpot store for purchase as a framed canvas.
Lastly, in 2023, Stigs dropped a newly fresh sounding single named First Step, featuring heavy trap production and crisp vocal verses. This is believed to be the first glance into what Stigs considers to be his upcoming future sound as an independent rapper and artist.
