A Quote by Kano

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.

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

Dizzee Rascal

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.

We don't need Kanye to spit on grime instrumentals to show grime is great.

Kano

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.

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.

Skepta

Grime's always been big at festivals. Grime's always had an underground crew.

Big Narstie

I didn't get played on radio or TV for 3 years. They all told me the same thing: it was too urban. They don't see grime music as commercial music, but all music is commercial; it's how you make it. That's what I'm trying to say.

Big Narstie

I'm not a grime act, I'm not a rapper, nor am I melody man. I just make music.

Santan Dave

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.

Lady Sovereign

I'm into my grime, hip-hop, dance, and house music.

Adam Peaty

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.

Skepta

Me and Skepta, we're kind of from the same world but have totally different-sounding albums. That's why I get funny sometimes when people say I'm a grime artist. Not in a negative way, but I don't feel it's a true representation of the music I'm making.

Kano

A lot of us who've made grime might be in the chart, but that is because of the country we are in.

Skepta

Grime music is still a young culture in itself. And my goal is to move it on to a more respected place.
