People often link grime with other things, like street culture, and clashing, and MC battles and whatnot. But no one's ever talked in misogyny in grime. That's often linked to hip-hop, I know people talk about that is a problem in hip-hop. But not grime.

Grime 4 Corbyn? I just don't know what I'm supposed to feel about that - does he even listen to grime?

Grime is a particular style of music. You've got electro, funk and garage; grime is its darker side. It's constantly evolving.

Tinie Tempah

Grime don't mean nothing, we never called it grime. It's just a word someone associated with us. I wouldn't say all my music's grimy.

Kano

The danger is that the artists who'll put grime into the commercial and public eye will put grime at the back of their closets and jump on another genre of music.

Beyonce's 'Bow Down,' to me, that could be a grime tune. If it's electronic and 140-ish bpm, and people go crazy to it, to me, that's grime.

I'm happy that grime remains underground. A lot of people talk like it's some underrated or ignored genre, but to me, that's the beauty of it.

Festivals are always fun. I went to a lot when I was younger and had money to go to them. I like playing at festivals. They're always kind of like a big, crazy circus.

I don't think grime has ever been respected; it's not seen as a nice sound.

Skepta

I've been a fan of grime for a while - I used to watch the battles on YouTube when I was younger.

Denzel Curry

We've been ahead for so long in the U.K., we're so multicultural, and that's the beauty. That's why grime was formed, from this mix, this understanding of different people.

Skepta

Obscenity comes from grime.
