Get my drift?

We've got a guilty secret... we're big fans of grime.

As a genre it was always set to fail as for every success like Dizzee Rascal, Wiley and Lethal Bizzle there's been money thrown at (commercial) failures like Shystie and the ever trying Kano.
In-fighting, jealousy and label fuckery have always stopped the all but a few of the best emcees from taking that final step and hitting the big-time.

But as a consumer, we don't really mind that. We can get all the music we want even if these artists aren't on major label as the internet plays such a big part in the scene and the fact that it stays bubbling under the radar keeps it... well, "punk".

Anyway here's a wicked little video featuring in our opinion the best UK grime emcee, JME. It was filmed while the UK ground to a halt under a huge 6 inches of snow a week ago.

Brrrap! etc.
