From Grit to Grime

Hey, my name's Rich and I've just moved to London to study, as a first year, at London Metropolitan University.

Now, moving from deep rural Gloucestershire to the big smoke might have been a lifelong dream, but that doesn't stop it from
being a bit, er, daunting.

I've learned a few things. blah blah blah. But out in the country, when we think of grime we think of ...... but now I know it, I love it.

I'm sure you can imagine that coming from the heart of the countryside, not many people, even 19 year olds like myself, have listened to, or even heard of, the "Grime" genre. It's fresh, it's new, and the sound doesn't just belong to commercial mainstreamers like Dizzee Rascal, Wiley and Kano.

So just how big is the world of grime? I intend to find out. Keep an eye on what I learn, and I'll reward you with videos, upcoming gig details and just that little bit of info on London's top and aspiring grime artists.
