FACT Mag - 20 best: Grime

Now normally when people mention grime music the standard assumptions come to mind - rough aggressive lyrics, a dangerous music scene where artists are more than willing to physically hurt (and some cases kill or shoot at) other atists, and lots of beef.

A ya know, while this is true in a way - i mean, no smoke without fire after all - but im beginning to descover another side to grime. Or at least, dig in under the shell and research it a bit more.

Fact Magazine recently put up a great article titled "20 Best: Grime" - its a great way to get some proper first hand knowledge of the genre, rather than some rude boy from Reading offering to shoot you with his gat.

Article here - 20 Best: Grime

If you don't read the article, at least check this tune:

Lo-fi instrumentals that sound like they’re lost in the snow – grime’s romantic side never quite came out like it did here. Widely unknown gems for years (‘Funktions on the Low’ was wrongly uploaded to Limewire as Ruff Sqwad – ‘Havana’ back in day, and so it’s still often miscredited).

  1. I used to know a few people into grime. Lots of amateur stuff in that genre. Good find on the link though.
