Grime

Grime is a raw and energetic subgenre of hip hop that originated in the early 2000s on the streets of East London. Characterized by its rapid-fire MCing, gritty production, and syncopated breakbeats, grime often features aggressive electronic sounds and sparse, hard-hitting basslines. Pioneered by artists like Wiley and Dizzee Rascal, it blends elements of UK garage, jungle, and dancehall, creating a uniquely British sound that thrives in underground scenes and mainstream charts alike.
