Howdy! Where my UK people at? This PUM episode is for y’all and everyone interested in the underground UK music scene. You’ll feel like royalty when listening to it and I’m not even joking. Let’s explore some Grime this week, shall we? Hear the rumble…
Grime is an interesting hybrid of electronic music and hip-hop that came from the underground UK scene. Its start in the early 2000s brought a revolution to the sound of hip-hop of that time. It criticized high fashion and the image mainstream rappers were trying to portray. It pointed out the everyday life of normal people from the suburbs of big UK cities.
It basically came from below to the top and I love when that happens to anything, whether it’s music or any other form of human expression. The rebellious background of Grime opened the door for experimentation and artists and producers were not scared to take that step. Grime MCs often rap over beats influenced by electronic genres including dubstep and garage, and I fw that.
I honestly don’t know if it’s actually related to the music genre grime, but the style of the artwork below is called grime art and I just love it. I think it’s pretty dope how you can completely transform a photo by drawing over it. So whether this is relevant or not, enjoy I guess lol.
