Description
The year 2000 marked a pivotal moment in British music history. As the country celebrated the new millennium, a group of teenagers from inner-city London began experimenting with beats, lyrics and signals that would eventually become the foundation of grime. Against all odds, these young MCs would go on to achieve incredible success, dominating British pop culture and defying industry logic. Their journey was not without its challenges, however. Successive governments attempted to control their music, behavior and even their clothes, while the media demonised them and the police shut down their clubs. Despite the obstacles, grime continued to grow in popularity, eventually becoming a British institution. This book tells the remarkable story of how a group of outsiders created a genre that has had a lasting impact on UK music. Drawing from over a decade of in-depth interviews and research with key figures in the industry, Dan Hancox presents a comprehensive and fascinating account of grime's origins and evolution.
