Chase and Status plus Kano

biggin up the UK grime scene Chase and Status in colab with UK heavyweight (I aint a Grime artist) Kano

Borrowed from zebraisfood.wordpress.com With the rise of Dubstep, the unwillingness for D&B to end, and the persistent ability for rap to reinvent itself, UK Grime finds itself in a very fragile position. Those that aren’t aware should know that Grime is a genre of music that incorporated UK hip hop culture with UK Garage or UKG production. Grime has featured mainly artists hailing from East London, and include the likes of Wiley, Dizzee Rascal, Tinchy Stryder and the self proclaimed prince of UK Grime; KANO. Check his latest contribution with power duo Chase & Status.  Watch Video Kano has always distinguished himself within the London Grime boys by translating US hip hop effectively into the UK Garage culture. Kano understands the concept of thuggery, and how it has manifested itself in Gangsta Rap here in the U.S. That is what I find disheartining with this latest colloboration with Chase & Status, the overall lightheartedness of the track; there’s really nothing thug about it.

Original Post www.prefixmag.com Even casual grime fans probably heard Dizzee Racal’s Maths + English, released last year on XL Recordings. Now, fresh off a U.S. distro of Mike Ladd’s Nostalgialator,� Def Jux is releasing Maths + English in the States.� El-P has put together a megamix of some of the original Maths + English songs, as well as the four new tracks on the U.S. version: “Driving With No Where to Go,” “G.H.E.T.T.O.,” a “Pussyole” remix by Pretty Todd, and an El-P mix of “Where da G’s.” �

Dizzee Rascal UK Grime @ Shepherd’s Bush Empire

I wasn’t a big fan of Dizzee I heard his first single and it all sounded the same after that but then whilst in Europe I saw a live performance and man the guy rocks.

Original Post www.thisislondon.co.uk He’s been ignored by this week’s Brit Awards, but Dizzee Rascal certainly isn’t lacking mainstream appeal. Plenty of middle-aged fans actually witnessed this return from the 22-year-old rapper Dylan Mills. Which is surprising because my general experience of grime and UK hip-hop has been that it’s only really listened to on snazzy mobile phones by surly youths at bus stops.
