Bugzy Malone, born Aaron Davis on 20 December 1990 in Crumpsall, Manchester, is a prominent figure in the UK grime scene, widely acknowledged for bringing the genre to broader attention beyond its London stronghold. Often hailed as one of the key players in the Grime revival of the mid-2010s, Malone’s razor-sharp flow and unflinchingly honest narratives about life on the streets have garnered him a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim. He burst onto the scene with his "0161" Manchester postcode branding and compelling storytelling, which quickly became his trademark.

As an artist who masterfully fuses vulnerability with street-hardened lyricism, Malone's work often chronicles his tumultuous journey that includes his childhood struggles and time in prison. With a string of successful EPs such as "The Journal of an Evil Genius," and "Walk With Me," Malone has also made a significant impact with his full-length projects, including the 2020 album "The Resurrection." Known for hits like "Memory Lane," "Beauty and the Beast," and stand-out tracks such as "War Mode," Malone continues to advance the Grime genre with his gritty narratives and commanding presence on tracks like "Daily Duppy" and "Skeletons," demonstrating his versatility and depth as an artist. His ability to collaborate effectively across genres is showcased in remixes like "BMW," adding his distinctive edge to every project he touches.
