Grime (music)

Grime is a genre of electronic music that first began in London in the early 2000s.[5][6] The genre evolved out of UK garage and is influenced by drum and bass, dancehall, ragga, and hip hop.[7][8] Grime music is generally produced around 137-143 beats per minute, with its aggressive, jagged electronic sound.[9] Rapping is also an important part of grime.

Pirate radios (illegal radio stations) were important in the early days of grime, as they were the only places that would play the genre before it was able to gain mainstream attention in the UK during the mid-2000s. Early important musicians would be Dizzee Rascal, Kano, Lethal Bizzle, and Wiley. Other important musicians include; P Money, Ghetts, Jme, Skepta, Stormzy and grime groups such as Boy Better Know, Newham Generals, Roll Deep, and Ruff Sqwad.[10][11][12][13][14][15] In the mid-2010s, grime started to gain attention in Australia. The genre has been described as the "most significant musical development within the UK for decades".[16]
