MercuryToHell

BigPleb

03.27.16 | i keep hearing about grime. what are some good grim artists? |
anarchistfish
03.27.16 | main ones would be dizzee rascal, jme, wiley, skepta, newham generals. anyone signed to BBK
i have a huge soft spot for p money too. brings the dubstep hard. amazing live |
Brostep
03.27.16 | this is also a pretty solid list http://www.factmag.com/2012/04/22/20-best-grime/ |
anarchistfish
03.27.16 | Jme and skepta are the probably biggest these days. IMO skepta and p money are the best.
dizzee rascal - boy in da corner is considered a classic though. there's more old school stuff like Original Pirate Material which is very good too |

03.27.16 | yh sputnik def needs to catch onto the grime train.
it's so fucking weird. i was introduced to it by my friend like 2 1/2 years ago. he taps skepta into youtube and there's a 5 min old vid at the top with like 200 views, called that's not me. months later and that song is basically responsible for grime's explosion since the fact. everyone knows that song now, it's surreal |
BigPleb
03.28.16 | Lol Brostep I phrased that wrong.
I've listened to a lot of grime and from a lyrical and production standpoint JME easily stands at the top. He has awesome wordplay and most of his features from the likes of Frisco, Skepta and Jammer Hammer are all awesome. |
SIIMBOLIC

BigPleb

Brostep
