Grime is essentially a mix of Garage and Hip-Hop, started and almost exclusively made in the UK. Grime caused a huge influx in UK Hip-Hop and it's booming, Garage beats were the precursors of allot of UK Dubstep. It has slowly came into the mainstream thanks to acts such as Dizzee Rascal, Wiley, Chipmunk & Roll Deep. This thread is for both Grime and UK Hip-Hop. Here's some music: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpLzYIgUojo[/media] JME is a Grime MC who is well known for his intelligent lyrics. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZGvnI37mxk[/media] This track defines everything about Grime: the distinctive voice, the garage beats and the violent lyrics.

Big lover of High Focus and their freestyles.. go on their channel and they have bars from all of their artists.... this one is one of my favourites...YNR is brilliant aswell, Jehst is arguably one of the greats of UK Hip Hop.. So is contact play [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kSi3FRAE_g[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wf9UxvHQe0[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vL0zhBdCk8[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tA16i47I1HM[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IinR1TYoWcI[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86f8nP6H4EY[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83pSo1d4qIM[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gk-2UEFkOn4[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03aUPjU8I5U[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTvV099e7Jg[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkfpGKNjPzg[/media]

I really loved Tempa T when he first came out but I've just kind of lost interest in him now. Good track though.
he makes some pretty gimmicky stuff mostly now, but tracks like that more than make up for it

Yeah Hadouken! take quite a bit of influence from Grime.
All these artists are really good. I liked Tempa T's last album? My favourite at the moment are Rhyme Asylum, Ramson badbonez, contact play and few others [video=youtube;v15NoSWrm0w]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v15NoSWrm0w[/video] [video=youtube;xsugfsmxIqw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsugfsmxIqw[/video] [video=youtube;J9KLWW99sAM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9KLWW99sAM[/video] [video=youtube;T1O-EumP8NI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1O-EumP8NI[/video] [video=youtube;Lc4To8Ssg-o]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc4To8Ssg-o[/video]

Elro's new single. I love this guy, really witty and creative with his bars. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPKPhxygiQw&feature=youtube_gdata_player[/media]

[video=youtube;Ea34xC5VOmY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea34xC5VOmY[/video] more hip hop than grime but great still: [video=youtube;2w2cZ9EzZx4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2w2cZ9EzZx4[/video]
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCKCHKRswQs[/media] I can't see why Ghetts gets so much hate.
Always annoys me when I hear the newest Dizzee Rascal house track when you consider he released stuff like this back in the day [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AAhc4auA7A[/media]
Have a listen to the last Dirtee Stank mix tape. When he's not making cheesy pop music, he still makes some great grime
Kano is another good grime rapper.
Can someone explain to me the whole appeal of Giggs. He just seems talentless to me but lots of people I know regard him as a brilliant MC.
would love for this guy to release an actual album. He's done a fair few tracks over the past few years but only for the films he's been in (Kidulthood, Adulthood, Anuvahood, Shank) [editline]27th June 2012[/editline] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR25vw2569Q[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoOoURJI_2A[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEddYpFXh7I[/media] would love for this guy to release an actual album.
