British Grime Music
A few weeks back I was playing PGR 4 on my Xbox 360 and this song came on while I was racing and it caught my ear. I wrecked 2 times trying to find that song again. It turned out to be “blah blah” by Lady Sovereign. Once I had that bit of info I started up my Zune Marketplace and started to download the album. I then started doing some research to find more of this hypnotic music.
I hadn’t been this taken in by a specifc genre since I got in Drum and Bass.
After several hours of reading about Grime I found some great stuff. To name a few…
- Dizzee Rascal
- M.I.A.
- Kano
- Mr. Slash
- Roll Deep
- Tinchy Stryder
Those just a few that I found.
It’s great. It’s rap, but not American rap. No 50 Cent or Nelly bullshit. I don’t feel like I should sag my pants low and turn my hat to the side. I don’t feel guilty listening to it because I’m not black.
Short post I know, but I figued it was worth a post since it has consumed so many hours of my ears time.
