Grime music has been central to British youth culture since the
beginning of the 21st century. Performed by MCs and DJs, it is an
Afrodiasporic form that developed on street corners, on pirate
radio and at raves. Level Up: Live Performance and Creative Process
in Grime Music offers the first long-form ethnographic study of
grime practice; it questions how and why artists do what they do;
and it asks what this can tell us about creative process and
improvisation more widely. Based on research conducted from 2015 to
2020 in London's grime scene-facilitated by the author's
long-standing role as a DJ and broadcaster-this book explores the
form's emergence before taking a magnifying glass to the
contemporary scene and its performance protocol, exploring the
practice of key artists and their crews living and working in the
city. The resultant model of creative interaction provides a
comprehensive mapping of collective social learning in London's
informal cityscape, offering new ways to conceptualise
improvisatory practice within ensembles.
