Grime Thread

Honestly I am way under-qualified to be making this thread but with the release of the new Skepta album i thought I would make a thread for this so that people could share more grime music.

From Wiki:

"

Some stuff I like but please share more:

CHIP - ONE TAKE (MUSIC VIDEO)

Clearly I like Chip a lot and all of his diss tracks (there's a lot) are always vicious.

 

Basically @OdranWaldo help me out.

 

good thread, i'll post some classics i suppose

first ever grime track:

others:

 

more:

in terms of the second wave, can't really go wrong with stormz, novelist and then some legends like skepta, wiley, jme and kano are still making mad stuff:

in terms of instrumentals, wiley's instrumental albums and plasticman/plastician are generally my go to ones

 

Dizzee Rascal's I Luv U was the first grime song I heard I believe.

 

Don't know why I didn't post Kano lol I have been listening to him a lot lately.

 

Is this a good place to talk about how much I love that JME album from last year? Because I really love that album.

 

absolutely, integrity> is brilliant

 

Can someone explain the background of when a DJ "rewinds" or "reloads"? I know what it is and the purpose of it, but what's the origin?

 

Inside Chip’s Decade-Long Journey To Become One Of Grime’s Most Honest Voices

 

Trim and Flowdan have put out great albums this year.

 

Listening to the new Kano album for the first time and it's really great

 

new Loyle Carner album is really cool. Wiley's new one was p good too.

 

The new Stormzy track is great. Roll on 24th February for the full album. Easily one of my most anticipated this year.

 

Eh not sold on the song just yet. Maybe in a few more spins

 

Stormzy album out...initial thoughts?

 

Stormzy killed it. Fully expect him to break it in the US very soon

 

like stormzy a lot but didn't think he was capable (yet) of the kind of album gsap is, it's really really good. fraser t smith is a king when he's making grime/hip-hop

 

Been getting into grime via Skepta, what are crucial cut albums I should look into?

 

I'm sure some can point you in the direction of old school albums of Wiley and Dizzee but I'd say start with Skepta's Konnichiwa, JME's Integrity, Chip's Power Up.

 

classics:
dizzee - boy in da corner
wiley - treddin on thin ice / avalanche music 1
kano - home sweet home
neckle camp - straight necklin
ruff sqwad - guns and roses volume 1 / white label classics
roll deep - in at the deep end
ghetts - ghetto gospel

recents excluding the three above:
dave - six paths
aj tracey - lil tracey
kano - made in the manor
wiley - godfather / snakes & ladders
ice kid - 11
stormzy - gang signs & prayer

 

Many thanks yous. Got into the new Wiley, digging it.

 

I honestly just really love the sound and the emphasis on having a flow. It's so refreshing.
