GrimE

Grime is musical offshoot of the early 21st century UK Garage scene that developed in London's East End between 2002-2004. In the United States grime is being called as "UK Hip Hop" instead of calling it a sub genre of "UK Garage". Grime has fast paced beats (90-140 bpm) and rappers flow fast over the beat. In contrast to its more soulful progenitor, Grime can often be dark and aggressive, featuring MCs as opposed to singers and jettisoning the R&B influences that enabled UK Garage to earn mainstream radio support. In contrast, the success of Grime is inseperable from its connection with Pirate radio, with many performers honing their skills and achieving underground success before approaching the mainstream. Grime has roots in both hip-hop and electronic music and is characterised by rapid and rhythmic rhyming over sparse break beats, futuristic bleeps and guttural bass growls. Perhaps due to its experimental nature and diverse stylistic influences, Grime resisted attempts to classify or pigeon-hole it for a long time, but in the past has also gone by the names sublow, 8bar or eskibeat. It has also led to an instrumental sub-genre called dubstep.
