Aaron Davis aka Bugzy Malone is an English rapper, who is the first artist of the grime genre to taste commercial success in Manchester. He has released three Eps and all of them have made it to the top 10 of the UK Albums Chart. He was born in Crumpsall, Manchester, in a poverty-stricken household, many members of which were criminals. Bugzy himself began engaging in criminal activities at the tender age 11 and eventually landed in prison. After being released from prison at 17, he took up boxing in an attempt to distract himself from the criminal lifestyle and find a different career. He started rapping with his buddies when they assembled or commit crimes. He got the nickname "Bugz" from his gang members, and it was later changed to "Bugzy Malone" when he was in prison. Along with boxing, he also began to take music seriously following his release from jail and eventually released his debut mixtape ‘SwaggaMan’ in 2010. Since then, his determination, talent and hard work have made him one of the most renowned grime rappers in the UK at the moment.
