Originally a track by ML, “Own Motion” is a reflective piece that sheds light on his journey as an autistic rapper—offering a perspective rarely heard in UK Rap.

He states how he has his “Own Motion”.

His approach to opening up about his neurodivergence seemed to have resonate with some listeners

Inspired by his sons openness, his father—UK rap heavyweight Giggs—began to look inward, eventually discovering that he, too, is autistic.

Giggs recently went on BBC‘s Newsnight on Tuesday (July 8th), the rapper touched on the tumultuous process of trying to secure Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCP) for his son Israel and daughter Isla.

The musician also opened up his own struggles with autism, which he believes led to him being labelled a “troublemaker” in school: “I always used to answer back all the time and get kicked out of class every single day — until I just thought, well, I’m bad”.

In May, school standards minister Catherine McKinnell confirmed that there was a new system for SEND pupils in the works, and declined ruling out narrowing or replacing EHCPs in entirety.

Giggs shared his disagreement with the proposed cuts: “It would be actually smart for the government to throw all their money to autistic people and let us be the super genius or super heroes that we are.

“And then you can have all your tax money, it’s a win-win!” he adds.
