Bleep

Grime first emerged in the early 2000s, coming out of the garage scene it pointed a new way forward spearheaded by a wave of producers MCs and DJs centred around Bow and Stratford. Described by the author as "It was dark, it was angry, it was loud, and it was unapologetic. It was provocative and fiercely independent, a brittle sound of disillusionment, resentment and despair, but also the voice of hope"

This Is Grime is a fascinating window view into one of the most exciting sounds and scenes to emerge within the electronic music continuum in the past twenty years.

Written by Hattie Collins, who has documented the scene since its early days, This Is Grime gives unrivalled access to the core artists who shaped this most singular of scenes including: Wiley, JME, Dizzee Rascal, Kano, Stormzy, and Novelist.

Coming loaded up with stories, anecdotes and stunning photography by Olivia Rose, This Is Grime is the first oral and visual documentation of the scene through the eyes of the people at its centre.

Hold tight.
