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.

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.

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

Dizzee Rascal

When I first started writing lyrics and stuff, I was writing it to garage, and obviously garage kind of progressed to grime.

Lady Sovereign

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

Initially we were spitting lyrics over garage beats, in that eight-bar gap where there wasn't a vocal. But we were rebellious towards garage because they were rebellious towards us; a lot of their gatekeepers said grime was too violent.

Kano

I wrote a short article called "Yardcore" for that issue, too, as an attempt to talk about the Jamaican influence on garage, grime and dubstep; as a splicing of soundsystem culture and hardcore.

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

Grime, in particular, is not really about pirate radio and local raves on top of pubs anymore. There are things I miss about those times but as an up-and-coming MC, back then, I would have loved to have had SoundCloud and YouTube and all these platforms to promote my music.

Kano

I like the New York style of funk, the California style of funk, but the South I never felt like - and Atlanta particularly - got the credit for taking their lessons and progressing on it.

Killer Mike

Grime is its own sound. There's a lot more to it. It's like a sound, culture, style - the way that they dress and speak.

Santan Dave

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

Growing up in the mid-to-late '90s in London, you start seeing the explosion of drum'n'bass and then the birth of U.K. garage and grime. I decided to focus a lot of my energies as an aspiring MC. It was a very natural way to express yourself as a kid from a certain kind of neighborhood.
