The following two years saw Giggs releasing no solo material but making numerous guest appearances on high-profile songs, such as "Man Don't Care" with Jme and "3 Wheel Ups" with Kano.

In June 2016, Giggs announced the release date of the album through a teaser video posted on social media.

"[16] Damien Morris of The Guardian described Landlord as "frighteningly good" and "fantastic, crafted, big-stage trap with the lissom, conversational feel of a mixtape.

The clever use of features offsets that lugubrious voice with a pleasing range of articulate rappers; and the beats intelligently mix intimacy and claustrophobia, making Giggs’s grownup rhymes more authoritative than ever.

"[22] Louis Pattison of NME commended the lyrical content, stating "Giggs’ delivery blends menace and sly comedy, while particularly choice lines are punctuated with a grunt, or a laugh so sinister it'd make the Grim Reaper soil his cloak.

Even eight years later he reminds us he’s still the same person and is still 100% authentic and 100% paying no attention to the industry"[23] In a very favourable review, Jesse Bernard of Complex described Landlord as a "trap masterpiece" and "certainly a more cohesive effort than its predecessors [Let Em Ave It and When Will It Stop]".
