Aaron Davis (born 20 December 1990), better known by his stage name Bugzy Malone, is an English grime MC from Manchester, England. Malone has been described as one of the key MCs instigating a "grime revival" moving the UK urban scene away from more commercially orientated music.
Malone released his debut mixtape, titled SwaggaMan in 2010. He began doing freestyles for northern grime YouTube channel "KODH TV" on their series Spray out Freestyle. He then did freestyles on popular urban YouTube channels including "Grime Daily". In 2014, Malone released a 'Spitfire' freestyle on JDZmedia which went on to get his first million views on YouTube. This gave him more popularity outside Manchester and later earned him a performance on Fire in The Booth with Charlie Sloth on BBC Radio 1Xtra. Malone released his latest Fire in The Booth on 14 March 2015. During the first, Malone dissed fellow grime MC Chip, this eventually led to the release of "Relegation Riddim". Chip replied to his critics including Bugzy on his war dub "Pepper Riddim". This started the "Grime Beef" and drew attention to the grime scene. In 2015, Malone featured on a track with Tinie Tempah and Stormzy called "It's Peak". The song was another send at Chip.
On 13 June 2015 on BBC Radio 1, DJ MistaJam premiered Malone's first official single "Watch Your Mouth" and the video was released on Malone's YouTube channel the same night. The track went on to be played across UK radio and popular TV networks. Including Capital Xtra, Bang Radio, Kiss 100, Reprezent, Unity Radio, BBC Xtra, Radio 1, Asian Network, Westside FM, MTV Base, Flava TV, Kiss TV and Channel AKA. On 24 July 2015, Malone released his first EP "Walk with Me", which entered at number 8 on the UK Albums Chart.
In 2016, Malone released 'Facing Time'. His second EP went to 6 in the charts. In August, he released a trailer for Section 8(1). Section 8(1) is a trilogy of music videos that tell a story. On the 27th, released the first "chapter" with the same name as his hit song, 'Beauty and the Beast'. On 28 August 2016, chapter 2 was released and this time based on the song 'Facing Time'. On the 29th, the third and final chapter was released, this time on the song 'I Suggest'. Section 8(1) is produced by G. Kuba and Malone himself.
