In a moment as relatable as it is legendary, South London's rising star ML joins forces with UK rap heavyweight and his father, Giggs, on the remix of "Own Motion," an unapologetic and heartfelt update of ML's standout single. Independently released on ML's own label, Motion Mvmt, the remix is a poignant exchange between two generations brought together by music, identity, and now, a shared truth. Initially written by ML as "Own Motion," it's more than a song. There, the young rapper reflects on being an autistic artist, confronting the narrative in UK rap with blunt authenticity.
The same candor had the transformative effect on his own family, finally compelling Giggs to look within and discover his own diagnosis, a revelation that makes this remix about much more than a family link-up. It is a bridge of heuristics. Remixed by Josh Roach, the new version retains the introspective heart of the original but adds additional weight with Giggs' presence. His voice, steady, reflective, seasoned, slips right into the beat, not overpowering it but underlining ML's adolescent defiance. It's a musical conversation between father and son, who come fully into their own truths as they walk side by side.
Accompanying the track is a cinematic visualization that takes viewers on an unfolding story, visually setting the stage to express the unbreakable connection between the two talent-stacked rappers and the pride that runs through every line. The remix becomes a touchstone in British hip-hop, celebrating not only artistry but also openness, family, and growth. ML explains that "'Own Motion' is a song for people doing their thing, motioning and not watching anyone else because we're leaders." With Giggs now in the mix, the remix doesn't so much raise the song as charge it anew. "Own Motion – Remix" isn't merely about legacy. It's about the art of leading with self-awareness, making space for stories rarely heard in the genre, and proving that even the hardest bars can come wrapped in emotional truth. This is a generation awakened to a beat.
