Emika – a fresh face on Ninja Tune

minha galera — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 14:25:24 +0000

She is a new comer, yet she has blown away many important producers, such as Pinch and Scuba and has landed a Ninja Tune deal. Good for her. She’s great!

Dizzee Rascal

gorette — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 13:16:41 +0000

Dizzee Rascal, is an English rapper and record producer. His (largely self-composed) music is an eclectic mixture of garage and hip-hop beats with an extremely broad palette of influences, ranging from metal guitars to found sounds, drill and bass synth lines, eclectic samples and even Japanese court music. His vocal performance is also distinctive, he uses a fast style of rapping which blends elements from garage MC-ing, conventional rap, grime and ragga. He is one of the most popular grime artists. His 3 albums: Boy in da Corner (2003), Showtime (2004) and Maths + English (2007) are worth listening too!

Lady Sovereign – Random

gorette — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 15:24:31 +0000

Lady Sovereign is a very young and talented English rapper. She is is unique as the only white female artist in the primarily black British Grime scene. Lady Sovereign stands out for her adoption of a relatively masculine appearance and aggressive delivery, donning athletic gear and mocking the trappings of more traditional female sexuality, perhaps in order to better fit in with the male dominated Grime scene. Absolutely love her!

domnux — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 12:51:51 +0000

Wiley (a.k.a Eskiboy), is a British grime mc and active producer from Bow, East London. In the scene is one of the best. For those who don’t know, grime is a sub-genre of urban music which first emerged in London, England in the early 2000’s, primarily a development of UK garage, dancehall, drum and bass and hip hop. Grime is sometimes associated with dubstep, a similar but largely instrumental genre which also evolved from the early 2000’s UK garage scene.

[later edit]: Thank you Gorette! I almost forgot about their project Roll Deep. Wiley has mentored, among others, the grime musician Dizzee Rascal. However, Wiley says that he has gained as much from Dizzee as Dizzee has from him, helping Wiley to expand his horizons. Wiley said, “I got energy from him. When he was growing up listening to me it was vice versa.” Wiley and Dizzee have collaborated in some of their musical productions as well, including Run the Road, a series of compilations documenting the industry and energy of the grime genre. Wiley has previously made it clear that he would never change his origin to break into the mainstream. It is thought however, that Wiley has in fact changed his style with the more commercial sound associated with the song Wearing My Rolex, which has become very popular in the mainstream.
