From the pioneering use of pirate radio that announced the genre to the mainstream success of Stormzy, Skepta and JME, the story of grime is told authoritatively by Grime4Corbyn organiser Dan Hancox, with an eye on the resistance to London's gentrification the genre encapsulated.
The year 2000. As Britain celebrates the new millennium, something fluorescent and futuristic is stirring in the crumbling council estates of inner city London. Making beats on stolen software, spitting lyrics on tower block rooftops and beaming out signals from pirate radio aerials, a group of teenagers raised on UK garage, American hip-hop and Jamaican reggae stumble upon a dazzling new genre.
