Grime 4 Corbyn? I just don't know what I'm supposed to feel about that - does he even listen to grime?
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 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.
We don't need Kanye to spit on grime instrumentals to show grime is great.
Grime is a particular style of music. You've got electro, funk and garage; grime is its darker side. It's constantly evolving.
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.
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.
Grime's always been big at festivals. Grime's always had an underground crew.
I listen to both, but more grime before matches to get you kind of pumped up. But then I might switch to the U.S. hip hop to just vibe out.
I want to showcase my talent, I'm not just a grime MC, I'm an artist.
It's not just my music. Not everyone just listens to grime now 'cause of Skepta. They like how we speak. They like the slang. They like how we dress. They listen to the music. It's everything.
I don't even think of it as a strategy. It's me in my element; it's my forte. Me being with all the mandem on the ends, spitting to an old school grime riddim, is me in my element; that's when I feel I'm at my best.
Becoming a commercial scene? I don't think people in grime would be happy about that.
I'm not a grime act, I'm not a rapper, nor am I melody man. I just make music.
I know a lot of grime artists started off on pirate radio, but I missed that era; I was way too young.
Obscenity comes from grime.
I just wanted to make music, and grime wasn't exactly the path that I took naturally. It was something that was put on me as a label.
