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.

People can't look down on grime anymore, it's an established British genre.

Dizzee Rascal

I describe me sound as international: reggae, pop, rap, R&B all in one. I think I have my own style. I can't really even describe it. People say, "What type of genre is your music?" It's Sean Kingston genre. I have my own genre. No disrespect to no artist or dudes out there. I feel like I am my own person. I am doing my own thing.

Sean Kingston

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.

Skepta

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.

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

Dizzee Rascal

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

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

Can we call the essay its own genre if it's so promiscuously versatile? Can we call any genre a 'genre' if, when we read it from different angles and under different shades of light, the differences between it and something else start becoming indistinguishable?

John D'Agata

My voice makes the genre because I sound like me on all my songs - I've made my own genre: Jorja Smith.

Jorja Smith

If you grew up in London's East End you'd probably be inclined to be into something like grime music. But if you're removed from it, like in Guernsey, you can have a wider set of influences, and you're not tied down to any genre or any scene. I think that affects my sound, for sure.

Mura Masa

I'm not comfortable with categorizing my own work, but I don't mind if others talk about it in relation to genre as long as they don't try to hold it up to some genre standard.

Karin Tidbeck

The beauty of the horror genre is that you can smuggle in these harder stories, and the genre comes with certain demands, but mostly you need to find the catharsis in whatever story you're telling. What may be seen as a deterrent for audiences in one genre suddenly becomes a virtue in another genre.
