The UK is home to many iconic things - Yorkshire Tea, Marmite, roadmen - but perhaps most important of all is the genre of grime. However, what was once characterised by bars bathed in bassy (140bpm) beats and sweaty raves has evolved into something a lot more sophisticated. We call this the era of Post Grime. Join us as we dissect and compare the latest full-lengths from scene veterans JME and Kano, red Adidas tracksuit turned pop superstar Stormzy and the Godfather himself - Wiley. Enjoy! 👉
