Grime music

Grime is a sort of rap that emerged in East London in the early 2000s. It developed out of earlier UK electronic music styles, including UK garage and jungle, and also draws influence from Jamaican dancehall, reggae, and hip-hop.

Another great british grimer is Skepta who grew up in London. As young he listened to reggae and was very shy. Now he is one of the most hardcore grimers, living in the streets of London.
