Trus me daddy! Grime Time
The last 12months of my musical meanderings have been knee deep in the UK Grime sound. Call it UK's hip hop or rap, but expressed over electronic made beats versus old jazz samples of NYC and rhymes that spit at lighting fast speed with an Island twang versus the sharp heavy hitting word smiths of inner city America.
From the ends of Tottenham…Skepta.
